Switch from Tier 2 ICT to Tier 2 General

[bains123]

Hi All,

I am working as associate Director and My current Tier 2 ICT visa will expire in March-2018.

Is it possible to apply Tier 2 General from UK or home country
- If I earn more than £120,000 (april-2017 new rule)?
- If yes then do I have to show this number throughout my stay in UK? (if I switch job and may not get this
figure)
- Do I have to serve cooling period?
- Will I eligible to apply for ILR after 5yrs?

Thanks,

[bains123]

No, The bar is still £155,300 and the Tier 2 G will need to be applied from home country
If your current salary is > £120,000 you have a chance of extending your Tier 2 ICT for a total of 9 years
