Maintainence for tier 2 change of employer

[orthodoc]

Hi, it will be of great help if one of the experienced members can clarify my following queries
1. I am on tier 2 general applying for change of employer in country application, firstly do I still have to show balance of 900 pounds for previous 3 months towards my maintanence. In case I don't hav it in my UK bank account can I use my Indian bank account statement to show the required balance?
2. Can a tier 2 change of employer application expedited by applying through a solicitor.
Thank You.

I suppose there should not be any problem using indian account as long as the statement is in your name and on bank letter head.

The solicitor cannot expedite your application processing.


All the best

Hi orthodoc,

From what I've researched, you can use your indian bank account. However not all indian banks are recognized by the UKBA. This link shows the banks whose financial statements are accepted by the UKBA:

For the sake of sanity, here's also the list of the Financial Institutions that do NOT satisfactorily verify financial statements and therefore, are not accepted by the UKBA

Good luck
