Two conditions:
1. If you qualify for the new category.
2. The new category allows you to switch from Tier 1 (General).

The question is will you qualify for the category you intend to switch into from tier 1 (G)?

You can switch into Tier 2 or entrepreneur category if you qualify for that category.

When you switch category, you will be given 2yrs visa (as per current rules)
