I have two questions:
-------------------------
1) I would like to know if it is possible to switch from Tier1 (Entrepreneur) to Tier 2 (General), if I have a sponsor?
Yes but the sponsor will have to conduct a genuine RLMT
2) What categories we can 'switch to' if on Tier 1 (Entrepreneur). Is it possible to switch from Tier1 (Entrepreneur) to any other Tier (category) at all ?
You can only switch to Tier 2 if you are currently on Tier 1 Ent visa.
Thanks,

Hi aby00156, Do you know what happens with 5 Yr ILR route? Does the person switching need to wait for another 5 Years after switch? or does the time spent on Tier1 (Ent) count towards 5 Yr ILR ?aby00156 wrote:kaps84 wrote:Hi All,

In such a case there would not appear to be a visa to switch from.softwareluv wrote:Just wondering if we can still switch if your Tier 1 visa is expired and you got rejection for extension application?
