Combination of Tier 1 Entrepreneur and Tier 1 investor

[Kissime007]

Hi

I am currently on Tier 1 entrepreneur leave to remain since three years previously i was on Tier 1 investor leave to remain for two years. Now i completed my 5 years as 3 years on entrepreneur visa and 2 years on investor visa.

Can i combine tier 1 Entrepreneur and Tier 1 investor for indefinite leave to remain?

Kindly help

The immigration rules don't state that you can combine the two different visa categories to make up 5 years and you will likely need 5 years on tier 1 entrepreneur.

I really appreciate your response and link.

But I couldn't found in link that i cannot combine both leaves, could you pls guide where its mention

If you can combine visa categories, the immigration rules would state what categories can be combined. If it doesn't state it, then you can't combine, as I have said.

If you read para 245HF (b) under tier 2 general, it shows you what the rules would state IF you can combine different categories.

(b) The applicant must have spent a continuous period of 5 years lawfully in the UK, of which the most recent period must have been spent with leave as a Tier 2 (General) Migrant or Tier 2 (Sportsperson) Migrant, in any combination of the following categories:
(i) as a Tier 1 Migrant, other than a Tier 1 (Post Study Work) Migrant or a Tier 1 (Graduate Entrepreneur) Migrant,
(ii) as a Tier 2 (General) Migrant, a Tier 2 (Minister of Religion) Migrant or a Tier 2 (Sportsperson) Migrant

Not possible as you need 5 years under Tier 1E route for ILR. This requirement is under Immigration Rules Appendix A, Table 6 (item 4)
