Please do a quick search on UKBA website regarding Tier2(ICT) here...
What is the intra-company transfer category?
The intra-company transfer category is for employees of multi-national companies who are being transferred by an overseas employer to a skilled job in a United Kingdom based branch of the organisation.

back to top

Who can apply as an intra-company transferee?
Before you apply under the intra-company transfer category, you must have:

a sponsor; and
a valid certificate of sponsorship.
When you apply you are awarded points based on your:

qualifications;
future expected earnings;
sponsorship;
English language skills;
available maintenance (funds).
When applying for permission to come to the United Kingdom under the intra-company transfer category, or extending your permission to stay, you do not have to meet the English language requirement if your extension does not take the time of your stay to more than three years.

You can apply under the intra-company transfer category now if you are:

applying for permission to enter the United Kingdom (known as 'entry clearance') under the intra-company transfer category (see initial applications);
in the United Kingdom with permission to stay (known as 'leave to remain') in an immigration category that allows you to switch into the intra-company transfer category (see how to switch in to the skilled worker category);
already in the United Kingdom as a intra-company transfer and want to extend your permission to stay within your existing category(see extending your stay).
Go to our visa services website if you are applying from outside the United Kingdom. There you can find out more about the process in the country you are applying from and download the relevant application forms.
Please go through the Tier 2 of the Points Based System – Policy Guidance

Esply.
Part 2: Points available for Attributes - Tier 2 (General) and Tier 2 (Intra Company
Transfer)- Page 3.

Yes, it is possible if you meet the criteria to go to UK under Tier 2 (Intra-Company Transfer) BUT REMEMBER! ICT is NOT a route into Settlement. You can only settle (ie. get ILR) if you are on Tier 2 (General)
