Tier 2 ICT April 2017 Changes

[rogermorn]

As per the April 2017 visa changes,"the requirement for at least one year prior experience at the overseas entity will be removed for migrants whose salary in the UK will be £73,900 or over." I am currently in the UK in Tier 2 ICT long term(visa obtained in 2015 May). Now if a company offers me a job with £73,900 or more, can i go back to my home country, get a new ICT tier 2 visa from the new sponsored company and come back to UK again immediately.

You would still be subject to a 12 month cooling off period. The 73K salary requirement only exempts the 12 month employment requirement.

For the cooling off period to be exempt the minimum salary requirement is 155K

Looks it possible.

a Tier 2 (Intra-Company Transfer) applicant in the (now closed) Skills Transfer sub-category will have been granted leave for no longer than 6 months; at which point you must leave the UK and you will not be able to re-apply for further leave under an Intra-Company Transfer category (other than in the Long Term Staff sub-category or if you will be paid an annual gross salary of £120,000 or higher, or where you were only being sponsored in Tier 2 (as recorded by the Certificate of Sponsorship) for a period of 3 months or less) until 12 months after your last leave as an Intra-Company Transfer expired or 12 months after you left the UK, whichever is sooner
