Applying for Tier 2 General visa while on cooling off period in ICT Long term visa

Post by abvsvk1 » Thu Feb 27, 2020 6:55 am

Hello,
I had Tier 2 ICT Long term visa valid till 08-Sept-2019 but left UK on 28-June-2019. I am on cooling off period currently and searching for sponsor for Tier 2 General category visa.

As per https://www.gov.uk/tier-2-general, I can apply before 3 months of my work start date. Can you please help me with the below queries?

1. Can I apply for Tier 2 General category visa in the month of May with work start date ( CoS start date ) as 06-July-2020?
2. If yes to above query, can I travel to UK on 01-July-2020 and start my stay ? https://www.gov.uk/tier-2-general link mentions that I can start my stay 14 days prior to the start date in CoS. I would start my work from 06-July-2020.

Thank you!!

You can apply on or after 28 June, 12 months from the date you left the UK. You are required to provide evidence of having left the UK 12 months previously.
