Yes, you are eligible to apply for Tier1(G) while you are on WP and also yes, if you loose your job you can apply within the grace period.. as long as you have enough points to qualify for the T1G...katya55 wrote:Hello!
I am currently on a work permit but really worried about losing my job and hence my visa. Do you know if it is possible to switch to Tier 1 in case I do lose my job.. Would I be able to get Tier 1 on time before a grace period on my work permit expires? Can I still remain in the country for the duration of the application for Tier 1?
Thank you so much in advance for your help!!!

Yes you can apply during your grace period also because at that time you still have valid visa to stay in the country.. and it also depends when your company will inform HO about end of ur WP/contract with them..katya55 wrote:Thank you so much for your response! Just to clarify, if I apply while on WP, I can remain in the country during the review period.. What if I apply after losing my job (i.e. during the grace period) - would I still be able to remain in the country?
Thank you!
