12 Months Cooling Off Period -> Tier 2 General

[GB09]

Suppose somebody was living in UK previously on a Tier 2 dependant visa and left UK after his licence was cancelled by his sponsor. And the person returned to his own country. Now he has a job offer to work in UK as a Tier 2 migrant. Does the cooling off period applies to him? Does it affect his application for Tier 2 migrant or do he needs to wait 12 months to apply Tier 2. Can you please confirm that cooling off period does not apply to folks who were changing from Tier 2 dependant to Tier 2 main migrant whilst applying from outside uk.

12 month cooling off DOES NOT apply to previous Tier 2 Dependents provided that the Tier 2 Dependent did not hold a Tier 2 General Main visa within 12 months of wanting to return.

Thanks for the quick reply.
