As on date there are none and no announcement of any intention to introduce any.

If you are a WP holder who is at the end of his 5 year leave but unable to qualify for settlement and wish to extend your leave (with the same employer or with a new employer), then you may switch to Tier 2 (General) but you'll need to meet the full requirements for scoring points under Tier 2 (General).

If you have been in the UK in an eligible category for five years or more and you want to extend your stay, you must meet the full requirements for scoring points under Tier 2 (General).
