[aspirant910]

Hello, I came to UK in 2014 on ICT short-term visa for 1 year and again came to UK in Oct' 2015 on long-term visa . Can someone advise how long my visa can be extended and my employer keep on extending the visa for every 2 years and the current visa will expire on June 2019.
My salary is less than £120,000 a year.

How long you can stay

You can come to the UK with a Tier 2 (Intra-company Transfer) visa for up to the maximum stay allowed for your visa type, or the time given on your certificate of sponsorship, whichever is shorter.

The maximum stay for each type of Tier 2 (Intra-company Transfer) visa is:

Long-term Staff (if you earn more than £120,000 a year): 9 years
Long-term Staff (if you earn less than £120,000 a year): 5 years, 1 month
Graduate Trainee: 12 months

Thanks so it means that IT Short term visa stay is not counted as I thought its overall 5-year stay for ICT visa. It means i can stay till Oct 2020 ?

It might be, it might not be. The short term ICT was only removed last year.

How can I find if this can be extended till Oct 2020.

Immigration rules part 6a also states Long Term ICT max for 5 years 1 month, so seems to exclude the short term ICT.
