Enquiry for TWES

[mayitbe]

I have been in TWES for about a year and company want to keep me permanently here.

As far as I saw the information from web, the TWES for working experience is no longer than two years. And it can not be switched to normal working permit directly.

So my question is:

1. There is nothing for the company to do about the permanent work permit, only I leave UK for 12 months. Am I right?

2. If the TWES is longer than a year. Is the period for staying out of UK still be the same as 12 months?

Thank you very much for any advice.

Correct, you cannot switch into a Business & Commercial work permit, you would need to be outside the UK for the specified period.

If you hold the position for 12 months or less you have to spend 12 months outside the UK, if you hold it for more than 12 months you have to spend 24 months outside the UK.

Thank you very much. In that case, I need to discuss with my company about my status.

Hi,
I think it is some times possible to switch from TWES to B&C. but this depends on various circumstances. However your employer has to do a resident labour search before he can apply for that change.

In my case I have successfully switched from TWES to B&C yesterday
