Tier 2 ICT to Tier 2 General with same Employer

Post by 121669gvk » Mon Jan 12, 2015 4:44 pm

Hi Gurus,

Is it possible to switch from Tier 2 ICT to Tier 2 General through the same employer with different SOC code?

My Entry clearance : Jan 2011
Tier 2 ICT - Established Staff Long Term

Thanks

Switching NOT possible with the same employer. If you want that way only, then have to wait for 12 months cooling-off period after your return to your home country and then apply for T2G with the same employer.
