You must apply for a new visa within 14 days of Tier 2 visa expiry and be granted a new visa and return within 180 days to maintain continuous residence.myself1999 wrote: ↑Sun Apr 12, 2020 9:36 amThank you!
So my situation is my tier 2 visa is going to expired in July this year (I have been living in uk for almost 3 years.) My employer may not extend it and I have to return back to my country. Wondering if I can successfully apply for global exceptional talent and come back to the uk. Given that the gap between tier 2 and GET is less than 180, can I apply for ILR 2 years later?
