new Immigration rules for skilled worker- Tier 2 visas

[seeking advice]

Will the new immigrations rules wef Jan 2021 benefit existing tier 2 visa holders who are looking for an extension of current visa or new sponsors to apply for new jobs?

[poper]

Some points I recollect are:
1. No more 6 year time limit of Skilled worker visa unlike Tier 2 General
2. Salary threshold for ILR has been reduced
3. No RLMT if you switch sponsors.

Thanks, Popper
So this means there will be much more flexibility for skilled visa worker!!
Is exiting Tier 2 visa be automatically switched to new Skilled Visa?
