Dependant on Tier-2 : Can I work

Post by waiwai » Thu Mar 18, 2010 8:11 pm

I want to go as a dependent on my spouse who has a Tier-2 - Intra company transfer visa to the UK. Can I work full time in the UK ?

Sorry , if this is a basic question, I am a newbie.

Ok thanks !
Another question - Once I go there as Tier-2 dependent and start working (provided I get a job there), can I apply for Tier-1 from the UK (provided that I have the needed points)

You have to apply from your country of residence, to cover the Entry Clearance process.

IMO you can make a PBS Tier 1 application from within UK once u have entered as a dependant. However you will be then treated as an independant entity and will not be able to apply for ILR at the same time as your spouse.
Pls consider all implications before making an application.
