Can I get Tier 5 visa from within the UK. Without having to go back to my country? How long usually does it take?

thanks

Do you qualify for Tier 5? If so, under which sub-category?

From T4 you are only allowed to switch into the T5 Government Authorised Exchange sub-category. For the conditions see p13 of the T5 guidance

How long is a piece of string? Average processing times, organised by location, can bd found on the UKBA site.
