5 Year T2 ICT expires and new Skilled worker visa

Post by kpopcorn13 » Mon Aug 17, 2020 10:16 am

Dear all,

Hope you are staying all safe.

My 5 year T2 ICT visa is expiring in Sep 2020.
My question is,,, can I come back under the new "Skilled Worker visa" in January 2021 or I am subject to 1 year cooling off?

below is the latest update from the Home Office and it says as below. I asked some people, but some say I can come back in Jan under Skilled Worker visa but others say I am subject to 1 year cooling off period because I will have completed my 5 years in the UK.

"......108. We will also adjust the existing “cooling off” rules as they apply to intra-company transfers to ensure the future system makes more flexible provision for shorter-term assignments. We plan to replace the existing rules with a rule that more simply requires that an overseas intra-company transfer must not hold entry clearance or leave to enter or remain as an intra-company transferee for more than five years in any six-year period, except where they qualify to be granted up to nine years on the basis of their salary......"

Thank you for your help.

Best
Seungkyu
