Tier 2 ICT Long term to Tier 2 Dependent

Post by tantramexy » Sat Dec 29, 2012 8:56 am

Hi,

I am currently on a Long term tier 2 ICT visa since March 2012. My husband is also on a Long term tier 2 ICT Visa. I do understand that I cannot switch employers on my current visa status. However, I wish to take up a job with another company (I already have an offer from them) and I am trying to figure out ways to action the same. It will be a great help if someone can throw some light on the following:

1. Are there any legal issues in switching from from Tier 2 ICT to Tier 2 Dependent?
2. Can I switch to a dependent visa category while staying in the UK?
3. Will this switching affect my employment with my current company in any way?
4. Do I need to explicitly inform my current employer about my new visa category?

Any pointers will be deeply appreciated.

Many thanks!

You can only change your immigration status from T2 ICT to PBS Dependant if you apply from your home country. Once you return to the UK as a PBS dependant you are free to take any employment (except doctor or dentist in training) and you can of course also continue in your present job.

Your must inform your current sponsor if your visa category changes unless your employment terminated beforehand.

Is there a salary cap for a tier 2 ICT dependent? I read somewhere that tier 2 ICT dependents can only be paid upto 24000 GBP per year. Is this correct? Please let me know.

Many thanks.
