Can't switch from Tourist visa to Tier-1 or Tier-2 within country. You will have to return to country of citizenship and apply for entry clearance.jmestes wrote:Hi all. I'm an American who's been in Glasgow since August 5th. I've rented a flat, and I'd like to live here indefinitely, but I'm currently here on a tourist visa.
My question is this: can I apply for a Tier 1 visa from here in the UK? As I said, I'm holding residence here on a 6-month lease, and my goal is to work and reside in Scotland, but I'm really worried about having to go back to the US to apply for the visa. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Oh my god. There's absolutely no way to apply within? Even though I'm already here and am renting a place?
