Thank you very much for the reply...sushdmehta wrote:Certificate of Sponsorship is for Tier 2, not for Tier 1.
Entry Clearance (EC) is a visa stamped on your passport when your application for a given immigration category (e.g. - Tier 1, Tier 2, Tier 4 etc.) is approved.

Similar to a visit visa (leave to enter) that people usually apply for when entering UK on a visit (e.g.- tourism). On the other hand, Tier 1 and Tier 2 visas do not have "work prohibited" endorsement on them.kju wrote:When I usually go to UK (as citizen of Croatia) a get a Leave to Enter for 6 months (work prohibited and no recourse to public funds) stamped in my passport..
When you get a job, you join and continue to work. Near the time of expiry of your leave to enter (visa) which is usually 3 years, you'll apply for extension of stay (called leave to remain) under Tier 1 itself. Provided you fulfil the extension criteria, you'll be granted further leave to remain that will allow you continue working in UK as a Tier 1 migrant. Anytime during the time of your stay in UK as Tier 1 migrant, you are free to change employers (in contrast, under Tier 2 one is bound to the employer who's sponsored your work permit). Lastly, changing a Tier would depend on your wish and circumstances, and whether the law allows you to change in-country (from within UK) or from outside. The policy guidances for all Tier categories clearly mention the visa categories under which you can change from within UK.kju wrote:One more question to clear this doubts: Lets say my app for Tier1 visa was successful...I move to UK to look for work, and then, what happens when I do get a job while in the UK under Tier1? What is the procedure then? Am I simply allowed to work or have to apply/switch to different Tier or whatever?
