Minimum Stay in UK on work visa before applying for a Schengen Visa
I have tier 2 work visa and I landed in the UK on 20th August. Is there any minimum stay required (e.g. at least 3 months completed in UK) before I apply for Schengen visa?
One of my friends applied for a German visa, and his application got rejected.

You may have the requirement turned backwards. They require 3 months validity on your UK visa beyond your Schengen exit date.

Yes I do have stay until 2022 in UK. What do you mean by requirement turned backwards?

@Rahul if you are staying until the end of December 2022, then you may not get a Schengen visa after the end of September 2022.

There is no minimum UK stay required for you. You are a 'permanent' resident there (for where to make a Schengen visa application purposes) from the day you arrive. It is not even essential to apply from the country of your permanent residency, though one needs a very good reason not to.

It doesn't look like he's a permanent resident, at least not until he applies for ILR in five years from now.

Schengen applications must (generally) be lodged with the consulate serving the applicant's place of residence. It's not necessary for the applicant to be permanently resident in the consulate's jurisdiction.

While applying schengen visa you need to submit last three months pay slip and bank statement. So this indirectly states that you should have stayed 3 months inside UK. Hope this helps.
