I came to the UK under T2ICT in 2011 March.
2016 April my 1st T2ICT visa will be terminated
and company will arrange relocation to the Netherlands.

This temporary relocation will be served as 1 year cooling-off period.
However, I may|do work many days in the UK as I still belong to the same team(global).

If I hold Netherlands work permit and come to the UK during the cooling period,
is this violate the UKBA rule and be a problem to apply 2nd T2ICT visa in 2017?

If you do not hold a work visa that entitles you to work in the UK then you are breaking immigration laws.
Even business visa's have strict regulations on what you are and are not allowed to do.

My advice is - accept the relocation to Netherlands and once there refuse to work locally in the UK as you do not have a visa and do stuff remotely till you can get a Tier 2 visa again after cooling off period.

P.S. do not travel on a business visa and risk putting yourself at immigration risk even if your company / team manager insists as it is gambling with your life and future if you want to someday live permanently in the UK.

Next time try to get your company to bring you on a Tier 2 General visa.

Hi

If you entered UK by March 2011 you would've had a Tier 2 ICT visa which does not come under a 5 year cap.
Pls check your visa type
