Meaning of the phrase 'subject of an Intra-Company Transfer'

[swiftswallow]

Hello,

Could someone please explain if the following is relevant to my case?

From the page: https://www.gov.uk/settle-in-the-uk/y/y ... neral-visa

"The continuous residence includes time where you had a work permit granted because you were the subject of an Intra-Company Transfer"

I was a Tier 2 (ICT) dependant on my spouse's visa from July 2012 until May 2015. From the end of May 2015, I have been on a Tier 2 (General) visa under sponsorship from my employer. Would the above clause apply in my case for calculating continuous residence of 5 years?

Many thanks

No, it does not apply to you if you held an ICT dependent visa.

You need 5 years on tier 2 General to qualify for ILR.

Note that any ICT visa issued after 6th April 2010 does NOT count towards ILR anyway.
