Tier 2 ( Gen) visa extension documents required

Post by kalas » Wed May 16, 2018 12:39 am

Hi,
I am currently on Tier 2 (gen) visa which was granted in Jun 2015. It is due for extension in Jul 2018. May I know what are supporting documents required for visa extension application?
Do I need to get the NARIC certificate as part of required documents?

Thanks in Advance.

The supporting documents would be varied case by case, but in general, below is the must -

Your passport and BRP
New CoS letter
Your renewed contract
Your bank statement showed that you have 945 or above for 90 days (except your employer is A-rated and gurantee your maintenance).

Not many required honestly.

I also provided my pay slip and p60, just in case.

And you don't need NARIC for visa extension.

With respect to "Member of Standing"

You only provide, and even the "checklist" provided by UKVI when you complete the online application form is:

Old BRPs
Passports
and Two Photographs each for each applicant.

No other documents are required.

You satisfy the maintenance criteria if you already have a T2 and your dependent satisfies when they are applying with you.

Are you sure the maintenance is only required during the entry clearance but not the visa extension? To me the guidance is not very clear about this. My friend (not Tier 2 but Tier 1E) got rejected during the visa extension because of a few days fall shorts of maintenance in their bank account. By the way, I prepared what I listed 4 years ago (that moment application was by post).

I didn't provide my bank statement, the checklist did not ask for it and my employer also verify maintenance
