Switching from Tier 2 to Tier 1

Post by Fal » Mon Sep 25, 2017 5:41 pm

Hi All,

I am currently working in London on a Tier 2 visa since 2015. I want to now switch to a Tier 1 visa.

My Tier 2 work-permit is till 20 oct 2020.

1) Can someone please guide me what is the best way to go about switching the visa status?

2) Will I need any documents from my current employer?

3) Should I do the application myself or hire a lawyer? what will be lawyer fees approximately?

4) Is it okay if my fund are in UK since 60 days only?
