Thank you very much for your reply. I appreciate it.
If I successfully manage to change my job, do I need inform Home Office that I change job? or I need to re-apply again my Tier 2 working visa (Even thought is not yet expired?)
You have to apply for a new visa. You cannot work for your 'new employer/sponsor' until you have a new Tier 2 visa. A tier 2 visa only allows you to work for your sponsoring company. You cannot move around changing jobs without applying for a new visa. Everytime you want to change jobs, you need to apply for a new visa.
Let say my Tier 2 visa with company A have not expired, and I get a new job with Company B. So I need to apply a new TIer 2 visa (company B) with new term.
1. Thus, I need to pay again the visa fees and healthcare surcharge fees?
2. Will the number of years (I need 5 years) only can apply for ILR (Indefinite Leave to Remain) will be effected?
|The purpose is holding a Tier 2 working visa is easier to get job.
Tier 2 General is not necessarily easier. It is not the old Tier 1 General visa that was NOT tied to an employer. Tier 2 is tied to your sponsor completely.

If need a new Tier 2 visa, is generally will be same, just able to stay in UK while looking for another job. The opportunity just that able to stay in UK only.
