Does being in the UK have to be entirely on Tier 1 visa ?

Main migrant in the UK since more than 12 months = 800 for self + 533 of each dependent.

Does being in the UK have to be entirely on Tier 1 visa ?

Or can it be a combination of others plus Tier1 ?

Thanks !

Under any immigration category.

Being present in UK under any valid VISA category for more than 12 months would do.

Thanks but can we be sure about it ? Its not explicitly mentioned.

I will try write to the HO and get a response.

Conversely, where is it mentioned "explicitly" that time spent in UK must be on Tier 1? If in doubt, always best to check with UKBA directly.
