Hi guys

I am applying for Teir-2 visa next week ( entry clearance). I got offer letter from my employer in soft copy ( pdf format). Now will home office consider this document as original copy, as I am gonna print it out and submit. I saw in guideline, documents must be original. But I am not sure such whether this type document will be original or will be regarded as copy.

I am sure my question is not about rules, but I have been hurted several times by HO in past, so just wanted to make sure everything is perfect this time.

Regards

You dont need to submit any offer letter from your company. Please read the Tier 2 general policy guidance carefully.

Your restricted COS is your employer offer..

I assume you are applying outside UK, Show us where its asking you to provide a contract letter?

The post by koolguykvs is correct, you don't need to submit a job offer letter with your application.

This is what is in the Introduction to the Tier 2 policy guidance:

You must have a job offer and a Certificate of Sponsorship from an organisation that is a licensed sponsor in the United Kingdom. You can only have a job offer if you will not be displacing a suitable settled worker. This means that employers cannot offer a job to a non-settled worker if it means that a suitable settled worker will be turned down for the job or
made redundant.

The fact that your sponsor and prospective employer assigned a CoS to you is a good enough proof to UKBA that you have been offered employment.

You don't need any letter. Like I said your RCOS is your job "offer"
