Tier 2 to Tier 5
Dear all,
I am currently having my full time using tier 2 general visa, but i would like to switch my career in UK, if so i need to take up internship/placement using tier 5 from the company, does anyone know if this is possible? as I have heard before that it is not possible to go to lower tiers.

You can do but you would no longer have a path to ILR. How long have you been in the UK on your Tier 2 General visa?

Re: Tier 2 to Tier 5
I have been using tier 5 YMS for first 2 years, then switch to tier 2 for 1 year now. But I hope I could switch my career so its better to start with internship again as Tier 5. I wonder if I could apply for it?

(g) The applicant must not previously have spent time in the UK as a Working Holidaymaker or a Tier 5 (Youth Mobility Scheme) Temporary Migrant
Your best option is to stay in the UK until you have Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) before changing your career.

Re: Tier 2 to Tier 5

Re: Tier 2 to Tier 5
if its internship, which one should i go for?
sorry i only know its tier 5, but i dont know how many classes they have to be honest, as far as i concern, banks should provide temp visa to them for placements
