Tier 2 ICT Long stay eligibility

[aksthehunk]

There is a guideline for UK Tier 2 ICT Long stay Visa that a person
can not return to UK as an ICT within 12 months of expiry of last
period of leave as an ICT. (Page 9 in
http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitec ... iew=Binary
).

However I had a Tier 1 Work permit (Not HSMP) issued in 2008 for 2
years and the Work permit got extended in 2010 for an year (with
the issuance of Resident permit) which expired in Sep 2010.

Since I never had an ICT, I think I am eligible for the 'UK Tier 2
ICT Long stay Visa' and the guideline above isn't applicable in my
case.

Can anyone please confirm?

Dear aksthehunk,

In order to meet the requirements you will either be

3. ICT Work permit holder
4. Representative of Overseas Business

In all cases you must still be working for the same employer named on your previous applications.
