Hi guys
I came to uk in december 2018 on Tier Dependant visa.I changed to Tier 2general In August 2019. I changed my visa again to tier 2 Dependant in 2020.
Now based on current status i am eligible to apply for ILR IN 2025.i read on gov.uk website that you can add duration on other tier 2 visa. Is that right?

If you're asking whether you can combine your Tier 2 main applicant and Tier 2 dependent times - no, you cannot.

Thanks for reply but gov.uk says you can add duration spent on tier 2 General

Would you mind quoting this statement and providing source?

At the moment, you're not a Skilled Worker - you're a PBS dependent.

Tier 2 route does not exist anymore. You are probably misreading something on the GOV.UK website. You are probably reading about the skilled worker route and the fact that time spent under the old Tier 2 is also counted. This is not about combining main and dependant visa periods. Note that any time spent under main and dependent routes cannot be combined for ILR as per the immigration rules
