Change in visa from Tier 2 ICT to Tier 4 Student

Post by jkoyya » Tue Feb 11, 2020 8:15 pm

Dear all,
I'm currently on Tier 2 ICT 'on & off' since Sep'2015. But continued from Jul'2016 till date without any gaps. My visa is going to be expired by Sep'2020.

I have two questions:
1. Can I switch my visa within UK or do I need to go back to my home country (India) to switch.
2. I completed my education 25 years back. Would there be any challenges during switching process?

Kindly advise.

Many thanks.

Best regards!

Looking at your other recent postings, you appear to be shopping around for a visa that will allow you to stay in the UK so your child can continue their education. A caseworker (and possibly a Tier 4 sponsor) might be sceptical that you are a genuine student.
I do not give immigration advice. I refer you to Immigration Rules, guidance, other online content and to your sponsor.
