Tier 1 application and the fee - confused , pls help

[ruka]

Hi,

The heading of this application reads

'APPLICATION FOR AN INITIAL GRANT OF LEAVE (SWITCHING) OR AN EXTENSION OF LEAVE UNDER TIER 1 (GENERAL) MAIN APPLICANT'

I am outside UK and I want to apply under tier1 (general). Is this the application form I should submit. I have two confusions

1. What does the heading contain 'SWITCHING' - Is this the application for some one who's already in UK or some one already with an HSMP approval

2. In this application form (PDF document) it says the application is 750 GBP for Tier 1 (general) application. But in the UKBA web site when I clicked on the link 'cost' it says the fee is just 600 GBP if applied from outside UK.

I am pretty confused. Can some one please help ?

Thanks in advance
