@OP, can you also include Tier 1 exceptional talent visa? Not many people know about the Tier 1 exceptional talent route. There are 1000 visas available annually in this category but has never been filled since it started. The government is considering increasing it to 2000 visas in the face of Brexit. It is also more flexible than Tier 2 as you will be free to work for any employer or set up your own company.

The Tier 2 visa is now the main UK immigration route for skilled workers coming to the UK to take up employment, usually paying a salary of at least £30,000. In order to apply for this visa you must have a job offer and a certificate of sponsorship from a UK employer with a valid Tier 2 sponsorship licence.

You can find out from police HQ in Benin first to see if you can process it from there( which I think you can). For lagos I think its from force cid alagbon .

How do you get tier two jobs

Thank you for the correction
"You’ll usually need to be paid at least £30,000 per year or the ‘appropriate rate’ for the job you’re offered - whichever is higher. Check the appropriate rate for the job you’ve been offered.

Check the guidance for situations when you can be paid less - for example if:

you’ll work as a medical radiographer, nurse, paramedic or secondary school teacher in some subjects
you’ll work as a pre-registration nurse or midwife"

Good day @francois10, @justwise and other gurus in the house

I already have an employer with a job offer, expecting my COS, anytime from now.
My questions;
Will it be possible to travel with my hubby cos i know someone who travelled recently on same visa type, who didnt travel with their spouse after laying emphasis on travelling together (she wouldnt tell me why),
Does the issue of money lodgement apply in tier2 visas,
Is there anything we can do to boost our chances?
Thanks as i await your responses

You can travel with your hubby only if you meet the financial requirement because living as a couple requires at least a studio flat £1000 bills inclusive and the government doesn't want you to depend on any public funds.
I appreciate if you can share more on how yu get COS because i also wish to apply for my Uncle.
Am happy to help you on any UK information

I learnt a certified employer is the one to apply on an employee's behalf.

Are you currently in the UK?

In your application for a tier 2 visa u will have to show u have enough funds to support yrself and ur dependents if any.(if your sponsor is not providing such funds). If u are able to show these funds and ur visa is approved. U can travel with ur dependants on the same day or seperately as u prefer. But remember that the day u fill in as ur travel date in the application plays a role in the issuance of ur BRP and I think there is a penalty if you don't collect it within a certain period.
On the issue of money lodgement the funds need to be in yr account for a minimum of 90 days before ur application as stated here https://www.gov.uk/tier-2-general/eligibility

Tier 2 visa is skilled workers immigrating to the UK only an A rated employer can issue u a certificate of sponsorship to make that application. It's not individual based.

Please what is the BRP number? I'm about to apply for a tier2 visa. and as a nurse with an A Rated Sponsor giving me COS, do I still need maintenance funds up to £945?! money matter o. thanks for the help

Traceytee:

BRP no is ur resident permit no which u will get when you get ur brp. With regards to maintenance funds cos is not enough....ur sponsor must tick in the space that they are providing maintenance for you. If they don't do that u will need to provide evidence of adequate funds on ur own.

wow thank you so much! done already and expecting my visa

For those who applied for tier 2 visa recently (this year) can u share ur timelines pls.
