Yes, if you are made redundant your employer will inform the HO about it and you will have a grace period of 28days?? to leave the countrydosknyppxpuxtg wrote:Hi All,
Right now, I'm on a work permit (pre Tier2) which was given to me back in 2006 and is valid till 2011, i.e. 5 years.
I'm just wondering what happens theoretically if I'm made redundant by my current employer and work permit sponsor?
Do I have to leave UK?!
Before you are made redundant, apply for Tier1 (G) and if approved you can work independently and can have the freedom to change jobs...If not, how long can I stay back and how would I go back to working again? Will that necessarily mean switching to Tier1 or can I switch to Tier2, provided that an employer is ready to take me on board?
NO you dont need to go back home if you can apply before you are made redundant or given notice to leave the countryIn the case of switching to Tier2 through new employer, do I need to go back to my country of origin to re-apply or can I do it in country?
The better option for you is to switch to Tier 1 (General).dosknyppxpuxtg wrote:Hi All,

I'm asking this all because I'm considering switching to Tier1, but I just wanted to know if its really worth it.
Thanks!
