Re: switch

What is the cooling off period?

Thanks for the response. I assumed that the 12 month cooling off period is only for one Tier 2 ICT to another Tier 2 ICT.

What is the cooling off period?

Hi

I have a Tier 2 ICT. Visa was issued in February 2012. If I were to work for a different employer, can I leave the country and get the new employer to apply for a Tier 2 General and obtain entry clearance using this? Or is there cooling off period before I can make this application.

Cheers
Raj

Wife's PBS Dependant Visa Rejected.Apply from a new country?

The problem is once I leave Saudi Arabia, her Bahraini resident permit is going to be cancelled as well. Does that mean we have to make sure that this is not cancelled and have to apply from Bahrain???
