Who pays for Tier 2 Dependent visa?

[Rad28]

Hi all,

I'm currently on a Tier 2 visa and my wife is on a Tier 2 dependent visa. We need to renew our visas by September this year. The employer has agreed to pay for my extension visa fees but not for my wife's dependent visa fees.

I was wondering from people's experiences - is this common or does the employer usually also cover the fees for your dependent's visas?

Yes it is common. Your employer is only YOUR sponsor, not your dependents sponsor.

Yes I'm aware of that, but I've heard that some employers also sponsor your dependants as part of your job offer soI was wondering if anyone's employer is paying for the dependant's visa fees?

mate answer is in your post only its between you and your employer agreement. If its there on your agreement ask your employer for your dependent if not apply yourself.
