HI Santosh, I am in the same situation as you are in. I will soon be starting to change from my ICT T2 LT visa to my spouse's T2 gen dependent. Can you please share if you have started this process and what are the documents we need to be prepared with ?

Hi Rajiv,

I have not applied for my dependent visa yet. I think the below link would be useful.

Hi Santosh - Thanks for the link, however that does not talk about anyone changing from main T2 ICT Visa holder to T2 General dependent within UK.

Do you have any link or document handy which can guide me to change my ICT T2 Main Visa Holder to become my wifes T2 General dependent ?

I am on ICT T2 LT Visa and I am looking to change it to my wife's dependent , she is on her own T2 General.

Thanks,
Rajiv

It really is not difficult to find the information and if you search the forum, you will see many ICT visa holders have switched within the UK to PBS dependent visas.

https://www.gov.uk/tier-2-general/family-members
Dependants applying in the UK on their own
Your dependants can apply to extend or switch their visas to stay with you if they’re already in the UK.

Thank you CR001, I have gone through the link you shared and got all the required info except one thing that I am not yet clear on, hope you can help i.e. - If I am switching my visa within Uk from T2 ICT LT to T2 General dependent, do I still need to attach police clearance certificate from all the countries I have lived in for 12 months in the last 10 years ? I know the answer is YES if I am applying from outside UK but within UK there is no answer for this in that gov.uk site. Can you advise pls.

Regards,
Rajiv
