Combining Tier 5 and Tier 2 for 5 year residence period

Post by Midou2018 » Thu May 24, 2018 11:18 am

Hello

I hope all is well
I have been living and working in the UK since Mai 2014

First with a Tier 5 Visa for a company from Mai 2014 to October 2014 and then for another company with a Tier 2 Visa from November 2014 to present.

I would like to apply for permanent residency in the UK next year and want to know if I could combine the 6 months under the Tier 5 Visa and the remaining time under the Tier 2 Visa to meet the 5 year residence requirement

Thank you

No you cannot use your time on Tier 5 as Tier 5 is a visa category that does NOT lead to ILR based on 5 years residence.

You need 5 years on Tier 2 General.
