How can a T2 applicant demonstrate that they meet the maintenance requirement?
Tier 2 migrants must meet the maintenance requirement to gain entry clearance. This can be demonstrated in two ways: by showing personal savings of £800 held for 3 months or through a written undertaking by an A-rated sponsor that, should it become necessary, it will maintain and accommodate the migrant until the end of the first month of employment in the UK. The provision for written undertakings has now been extended to include a migrant’s dependants. Dependants will be able to meet the maintenance requirement either by showing that they, or the migrant, have held £533 for each dependant for the previous three months, or by the migrant’s A-rated sponsor providing a written undertaking that they will maintain and accommodate the migrant’s dependants, should this become necessary, during their first month in the UK.
