Thank you for your response.Apam wrote:How long have you been away from the uk?
If your employer informed the ukba that you had terminated your contract with them, it's likely your visa might have been cancelled and hence made invalid. Contact your sponsor, they will have the details of what they informed the ukba. Otherwise your absence could be classified as compelling circumstances by your employer in which case you can now resume work without the need to apply for a new visa and 1 year cooling off period!
I dont think this is correct info. The cooling time only kicks in after one has been on tier 22 for 6 continuous years.Apam wrote:If your employer informed ukba about termination of your contract, then unfortunately your visa may have been cancelled. The only way to find out online is by the employer's SMS online. Contact your sponsor to find out the current state of your visa.
Tier 2 current rules state that if you leave the uk due to termination or resignation or your job, you need to stay away from applying for a tier 2 visa for 1 year; this is called cooling off period unless you earn over £152000.
However you can reapply 1 year after you left the uk, not when your current visa expires.
I found some info on thisApam wrote:If cooling off was only for those who have been in the uk for 6 years, that would have been great. Unfortunately that's not the case. Anyone on tier 2 who leaves the uk due to termination of contact etc and wants to return to the uk under tier 2 is unfortunately subject to a year's cooling off period unless earning over £152000.
There are lots of people on the forum serving cooling off who have confirmed this.
