Tier 1 from Tier 4

Post by Findraj » Sun Jul 14, 2013 11:00 am

Ok I'm going to apply for my tier 4 visa soon..however I would want to study as well as start my own business there..

so how soon can I change from tier 4 to tier 1? Is it allowed to hold 2 visa and can I study while owning a business?

Or do I have to complete my studies first and then 'switch to' tier 1 after my visa gets expire or nears expiration

Any help will be appreciated, thanks in advance

You have to complete your study first and only then Business can be done.
As a student you are not entitle to do business but you can only work limited hours as mentioned on your visa.

Thank you desibabu.

One more question will I be eligible to apply under £200 k or £50 k route or both or none. UKBA site is confusing me right now
