• A Tier 2 General visa holder is eligible to apply
  for an extension of the same as and when the
  initial visa expires, or a new Certificate of
  Sponsorship is issued in the name of the
  applicant. The extension must be applied for
  within 3 months of receiving the Certificate of
  Sponsorship from the employer.
• The onus of proving this continued eligibility
  for a Tier 2 General extension is in the hands of
  the applicant. To be eligible for Tier 2
  extension the applicant must have permission to
  enter or stay in UK and must be present in the
  UK at the time of applying for extension.
• In order to attain Tier 2 General visa extension,
  an applicant must keep the following pointers in
  mind
• An applicant for a Tier 2 extension is granted an
  extension for a maximum of 6 years.
• While applying for extension the applicant must
  have the same job that got him entry to the UK in
  the first place.
• The employer who granted the Certificate of
  sponsorship for the initial Tier 2 application
  must be the employer for the applicant while
  applying for extension.
• A new Certificate of Sponsorship must be provided
  in the name of the applicant.
• The applicant must be granted an appropriate
  salary from the employer. If the initial visa was
  granted on or after 26th November 2016, the
  appropriate salary is 30,000.
• The applicant can continue working in UK while
  the application is being processed, provided the
  initial
• visa hasnt expired.
• The visa processing for a Tier 2 extension
  application typically takes around 8 weeks.
  However, the priority services furnish a
  decision in 5 working days and the super priority
  services provide a decision in 1 working day.
• The applicant must be mindful to include
  dependants while applying for extension. The
  dependants have to provide a submit application
  but can apply along with the main applicant. The
  process of a Tier 2 extension is relatively slow
  and patience is all it takes till the Home Office
  finally provides a decision.
