Tier 2 to Tier 1 (entrepreneur) switching - Funds held in UK

Hi all,

I am intending to switch from Tier 2 (G) to Tier 1 (Entrepreneur). I have my own funds of 200K available in Pakistan in a regulated bank. I am confused whether these funds are acceptable for my switching application or not? As I was reading on Home Office website that "The funds must be held in UK if applying for leave to remain". What does that mean?

Your kind responses much appreciated.

if you have funds in PAKISTAN bank, moving those to UK should not be a problem.
it will satisfy home office also it will be mental satisfaction for you.

Regards

Thank you usmanrana
