Switch Entrepreneur to Skilled Worker

Post by gns3555 » Sun Dec 06, 2020 8:50 pm

Hi,

As UK Gov has recently announced the new route for skilled migrant to come UK. There is also an option to switch to this visa for someone who is already in the UK.
My question is, ‘Is anyone who has an Entrepreneur in UK can switch to Skilled worker visa?’
Because there is no any clear guideline to switch from another visa except visit visa and temporary visas.
Thanks.

The Ukvi weblink clearly states who CANNOT apply to switch. Tier 1 is not on the list!!
