You can only apply for a tier 2 general entry clearance visa once you have held the dependent visa for 12 months. You have to apply from home country.

Jumping between visas doesn't remove the 12 month cooling off period.

Thanks for responding.

Sure, I will serve 12 month cooling off period as dependent of Tier 2 general but do I need to stay outside UK for 12 months before applying as Tier2 General main applicant.

Can I remain in UK for 12 months on dependent visa and then be eligible for Tier 2 General visa as main applicant.

Regards.

You simply need 12 months in dependent visa. You can stay in the UK, no requirement to leave.

You then must apply from home country for tier 2 general.
