Can a person on Visit Visa to Uk can apply as in-country applicant?

I don't think you can aj77, as the point of a visitor visa is to eventually go back. As of October 2004, it has become extremely difficult to apply to switch to a different status in the UK.

On a different note, it would probably be a quicker process in your home country.

not only difficult it is impossible.
download FLR(IED) form and read what visas allow switching to HSMP.
Basically you can't, the legal way is to go back to your home country and apply for EC. Good Luck!
