Switching Into Tier 2 ICT

Switching from inside the UK is possible only into Tier 2 ICT: Long Term Staff category. You cannot switch into other sub-categories of Tier 2 ICT from inside the UK. The sub-category Long Term Staff is for established, skilled employees to be transferred to the UK branch of their organization for more than 12 months to fill a post that cannot be filled by a new recruit from the resident workforce.

You can apply from inside the UK if you have, or were last granted, leave in one of the categories listed below:

  • Tier 2 (Intra-Company Transfer), under the rules in place before 6 April 2010

  • Intra Company Transfer work permit holder (except multiple entry work permits)

  • Representative of an Overseas Business (this includes representatives of overseas media companies)

In all cases, you must be still working for the same employer named on your previous application.
