Thanks mate . Thanks for your time and response. So if i understand correctly if i need to change from TIER2 ICT short term to Tier 2 General( visa sponsored by UK based company) with out 12 months cooling period then my new UK company should pay me >£155500 pa .. Is is the only available option

If you have a spouse/partner who could apply for a Tier 2 General then you could switch to Tier 2 G Dependent visa.

Yes, In addition, if your Job comes under Shortage Occupation, you may not have a cool off. I stand to be corrected here.

@poper: Correction here. If the job is under shortage occupation list, RLMT is not required. However, cooling off period still applies.
