Eligibility for Tier 2 General Visa

[sujit89]

Hi Guys,

I need an help to know whether I am eligible for applying Tier 2 General Visa.

My situation is -

I was on ICT Tier 2 Long Term Visa which got completed in April, 2018. After that I am currently in UK as a Dependent and holding a Tier 2 ICT Dependent Visa from 16 Apr, 2018.

I have got a new job in UK and my current employer is ready to sponsor my Tier 2 General Visa, my query is whether i am eligible to apply for Tier 2 General visa from Tier 2 ICT Dependent or should I have to wait for another 1 year cooling off till next April, 2019.

Thanks in advance for your advice.

Thanks, Sujit

You have to wait the mandatory 12 months before you can apply from home country for a tier 2 general visa, unless your salary is in excess of £159,600pa.
