Tier 2 ICT -Cooling off Period Removal

Post by kumar125 » Tue Mar 03, 2015 2:12 pm

Hi All,
I found a good article regarding impact of Tier 2 ICT- Cooling off period.

From April 2016, Those who entered the UK after April 2011 under Tier 2 (ICT) will have to return overseas after five years and will not be able to come back to the UK under Tier 2 for 12 months unless they earn in excess of £153,500. This has the potential to affect a large number of companies within the financial sector which may find themselves in a position where business-critical, experienced staff are required to leave the UK.

Hence it is evident that multinational companies in UK will pressurize the government to remove this cooling off period for Tier 2 ICT Category, since it doesn't qualify for ILR.

But since the General Elections are in May 2015, hence these changes will happen only after Election......

The cooling off period will remain. Your dreaming if you think that is going to change.
