Tier 2 (ICT) to ILR- Possible or Not?

[shobhitsri]

Hi there,

I am in UK on TIER 2 (ICT) visa. I was checking on GOV.uk website to change visa to ILR and it make me confuse.

https://www.gov.uk/settle-in-the-uk/y/y ... nsfer-visa

Above page says: -
To qualify for ILR, you must have had at least one of these visas in the 5 years:

1. Tier 2 (Intra-Company Transfer) issued under the Immigration Rules in place before 6 April 2010.
2. Work Permit for an intra-company transfer

I don't come in 1 number criteria but 2 number is confusing me. What is "Work Permit" mean? Does it not mean for Tier 2 (ICT)? if not, what is it?

First, I came here on short term in 2015 and then after it was changed to Long term in 2016 till 2020. I have still two years but my employer told me to do some research and let them know back.

Considering the present situations, Can I apply for ILR?

Regards.

You don't qualify for ILR on either of the points as your ICT was issued in 2015.

Why have you registered a new username?

Thanks for replying.

Apology for the confusion, that login details were not working.
