Tier 2 visa extension- Immigration skills charge query

Post by Loubell » Wed May 10, 2017 1:31 pm

Hello,
There is some conflicting advice online. Does anyone know if your employer incurs the immigration skills charge if you are applying from inside the UK to extend your visa?
If they don't have to pay the charge, is the only cost to them assigning the Certificate of Sponsorship?
Thank you in advance!

No immigration skills charge applies for extensions

yes, and visa fees
Thank you in advance!
Any suggestions I make in the forum are out my personal experience and should not be taken as a legal/professional advise.
