Switching from Dependent to Tier2

Post by grant32 » Mon Jan 11, 2010 3:33 pm

I am currently a work permit holder. Can my dependent (partner) switch to Tier 2 (Employer Sponsored) if they are already in the UK?

Many thanks.

1. As far as i know the answer is NO.
2. The dependents need to go bak to home country and apply for entry clearance.
