Tier 1 GE to Tier 1 £50000 apply outside

Post by JohnHunter » Wed Jan 09, 2019 3:58 am

hey
am currently stuck overseas with a good business in the UK that I starred under the tier 1 GE

I had several commitments and I had to travel during that period and I couldn’t switch from within the Uk.

But my last GE expired and I’ve read that I can’t apply for the £50k route from outside the Uk.

I don’t have access to the £200k route and I am wondering what I could do?


Please help..

Where did you read that you can't apply for £50K route outside of UK ?

The immigration rules Appendix A Table 4 only states:


(ii) has, or was last granted, leave as a Tier 1 (Graduate Entrepreneur) Migrant.

That seems to indicate that you don't have to have a current T1(GE) visa to apply for the 50K route, as long as you did not have another UK Visa in between.

Gov.uk site has a statement:
Apply as a former Tier 1 (Graduate Entrepreneur)
You can apply if you have a Tier 1 (Graduate Entrepreneur) visa and want to change (switch) your visa.


But even that does not eliminate an entry clearance application.
My comments are in no way meant to be advisory. I have no professional knowledge of immigration. These are based on my own experience, convictions and personal interpretation of publicly available information.
