Expiring Visa

Post by Victor 85 » Wed Dec 16, 2020 2:22 pm

Hello ,

I have a work permit expiring on the 16th of january 2021 ( i have a dependant visa that cannot be renewed)

I would like to know if i need to tell my employer that my visa is expiring, if so should i give them my one month notice or just let them know that my visa is expiring at that date.

Thanks a lot

Hello

Ask your employer if they can sponsor you. They need to have a license. Work visa are easier now than ever.

Otherwise, yes, you need to let them know.

You should tell them now. Legally you can give whatever your contractual notice is (eg 1 month, or 1 week), but it is best to be open.

What line of work are you in? Are you looking for other jobs or planning to leave the UK
