Limited leave to remain
If you have limited leave to remain you must:
- Present (in person) documents which prove your continuing right to work in the UK to Human Resources (or Peter Lanyon Reception for staff working in Cornwall) at least once a year, usually on the anniversary of the start date of your employment.
- Take steps to renew your leave to remain (visa) in good time before its expiry and keep Human Resources informed of the progress of your application.
- Present your new leave to remain (visa) documentation in person to Human Resources/Peter Lanyon Reception as soon as you receive it.
Additional requirements for individuals employed on a Tier 2 visa
If you are currently sponsored by the University under Tier 2 of the Points Based System there are several changes to circumstances that you must inform HR about during the course of your employment. This will ensure that the university meets its obligations relating to monitoring immigration status and migrant contact details, record keeping and reporting changes to the UK Border Agency.
The University can be visited at any time to verify compliance with these obligations. Sanctions for non-compliance include demotion from an A-rated to B-rated sponsor or de-registration. Imposition of such sanctions would jeopardise the university's ability to employ individuals - including you - from outside the European Economic Union.
Your support and co-operation is required to ensure the University complies with its sponsor obligations. As a holder of a Tier 2 certificate of Sponsorship, you are required to notify Human Resources of any changes to your circumstances. In particular, you must report the following to Human Resources immediately:
- any changes to your residential address in the UK or your contact details including all telephone numbers (e.g. Mobile, landline, etc. must be emailed to tiers2and5@exeter.ac.uk and HR will update your trent record
- if you are considering taking up supplementary employment or an alternative role whilst under the University's sponsorship;
- your resignation from the University's employment;
- reasons for absence without permission for more than 10 working days;
- if you no longer require sponsorship (for example, if you move into an immigration category that does not need a sponsor or obtain unlimited leave to remain or UK citizenship);
- if you are appointed to a new/different role in the University or there is a change to your job title and/or duties and responsibilities;
- any significant changes to your circumstances (e.g. marriage);
- if for any reason you lose an appropriate registration or professional accreditation which is a requirement of your appointment (e.g. registration with the General Medical Council);
- any breach of the conditions of your leave to remain in the UK.
Given the seriousness of not reporting the above, any failure to do so may result in disciplinary action.
If you are a Tier 4 visa holder, you must comply with the limitations on work applicable to international students.
