The Home Office releases on the new PBS immigration policy in the UK mention removal of cooling off period for shifting from Tier 2 ICT to Tier 2 General visa. Does anyone know if this is only for new Tier 2 ICT visa folks or would this applying to existing Tier 2 visa holders too?

Existing Tier 2 ICT you mean ?

like

Yup. So can an existing Tier 2 ICT visa holder shift to a Tier 2 General visa starting 2021?

What’s your source for this OP?

https://www.taylorwessing.com/fr/insights-and-events/insights/2020/07/the-points-based-system---2021-the-year-of-change
"From 1 January the Home Office will allow most migrants to apply to switch from one immigration route to another category from within the UK if they meet the criteria of the new routes. This welcome change will assist sponsors and visa holders alike - it will save costs, minimise disruption and enable visa holders to continue to work for their sponsors from within the UK during the application period"

Ah yes. I’m clearly going blind. I’d think it would apply to existing Ict holders as well, would be very unfair if it didn’t

Yeah, I'm hoping so but can't be sure yet. Bonded to my employer until then.
