ILR Continous residency

[Doctor7]

Hi
I've been in the UK for 3 years under overseas newspaper , news agency or broadcasting organization. Now I'm going to switch my visa to tier 2 (General). From the date when I switch , how long should I stay in the uk under tier 2 to be able to get ILR? Five years from now or just two years , as I've already had 3 years visa?
Thank you

What is your current visa category?

overseas newspaper , news agency or broadcasting organization

This isn't a 'visa category'.
