Just checked your going rate.

Its 51700 under new rules and 39300 under previous rules. 39300 will be applicable to you, however with your salary, you should be fine either way.

Re: SW Visa extension queries

I am in a similar situation and my SOC has been changed from 2424 to 2440. Do we need to apply for extension or update, since SOC has changed?


I don't think the salary will affect you, as you will be treated with previous salary threshold, however slightly increased due to inflation.

Your current visa remains valid under the SOC it was issued under. When you need to extend at the point before expiry your employer will issue a new COS, only then will the new SOC code be required.

Yes thats fine, but at that time do I apply for extension or update???
