Tier 2 changing route to settlement

[Ramboin]

Hi,
I just wondering if anyone can help me understand if there’s any route to settlement to give up tier 2 general and switch to another route.
I have already spent 2.5 years in tier 2 general route and don’t want to lose this period by switching to another route.
Please suggest. I appreciate your help.

Thanks
Ram

What route were you thinking of changing to?

Thanks for your reply.
I exploring if there’s any option to switch. I heard about tier 1 student and startup visa.

Please suggest

Thanks

tier 1 student

There is no such visa. It is tier 4 student visa which doesn't lead to ILR based on 5 years residence.

and startup vis

Doesn't lead to ILR either.

The only route for you without losing your tier 2 general time is the Global Talent visa if you qualify and can get endorsement.
