Allow Indian National to Switch to a Tier 2 category in the UK amidst COVID19
If the Indian national in the UK on a Tier 2 Intra-Company Transfer visa and want to switch to a Tier 2 General visa then normally they need to return to India to make your application. Government can exceptionally allow them to apply within UK
Due to COVD19 situation, India has stopped flights from UK and and in due course UK might also close boarders, hence I request government to extend the provision given to Chinese national to Indian too so that Indian nationals can exceptionally apply to switch from a Tier 2 Intra-company Transfer to a Tier 2 General VISA from within the UK.
