Switching to ECAA2 from Tier 2

Post by mrsandmantr » Tue Feb 19, 2019 11:20 pm

greetings everyone,
i have few important topics to understand before doing this move and ask your help.

my current situation: i work in a private company (let's name it as AAA) with Tier 2 visa in UK.
  • can i apply for switching my visa to ECAA2(businessperson) while I still work in AAA with Tier 2?
  • (if above yes) do I need to tell this AAA? If I start the process without giving any notice to AAA, and keep it as a secret until I got the approval from ECAA2, is there any legal risk?
  • i read that switching visa can take up to 6 months. and during this time, I won't have access to my passport; so can't leave UK.
    if i have another valid passport, can I leave UK?
knowing the answers very crucial to me so many thanks in advance! :)
