I am currently two months into my two year Tier 5 Youth Mobility Visa in the UK. Having recently been reading up on the requirements for the Tier 2 General Work Visa, I understand that to "switch" to this visa you would need to currently hold one of the required visas listed.
I don't currently hold one of the required visas, so my question is: If I were to go back to Canada once my two year visa expires, would I be able to apply successfully for the Tier 2 work visa, without having to "switch"?
This question came from our site for road warriors and seasoned travelers.
You can apply if a licensed sponsor has offered you a skilled job in the UK https://www.gov.uk/tier-2-general but whether the application would be successful is not something anyone can answer with any certainty.
