Hello zimba88

One question regarding your remark as quoted above,
Does this mean Tier 2 migrants are not able to switch to T1E with 50K route?

Thanks for your clarification in advance.

Not with your OWN money but you can apply if the 50K comes from following sources only:

-a UK entrepreneurial seed funding competition endorsed by UK Trade and Investment (UKTI)
-a UK government department making funds available for the purpose of setting up or expanding a UK business
-a venture capital firm registered with the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA)
