Can I change my Tier 5 visa in UK?
Should You Make the Switch? – If you have decided that working in the UK for the NHS is something that you want to do long-term, switching to the Health and Care Visa makes sense. However, the Temporary Work Visa is for just that – temporary work. The MTI scheme is specifically designed for IMGs that want to return to their home countries with all the skills and knowledge they’ve picked up from the NHS.
So ideally, you would not make the switch, instead going back to your home country to be an excellent doctor there. Of course, things don’t always go according to plan, so if you’ve changed your mind along the way, you can always switch visas. However, if you have yet to apply for a visa, make sure you choose the right one.
Pick the Temporary Work Visa and the MTI scheme if you plan on returning to your home country, and choose the Health and Care Visa with a more traditional role if you want to live in the UK for the longer term. Keep in mind that time living in the UK under the Temporary Work Visa will not count towards indefinite leave to remain.
Can I switch from Tier 5 to spouse visa?
Can I switch from a Tier 5 Visa to a Spouse Visa? – Assuming you are eligible (see the eligibility criteria below), you can switch from a Tier 5 temporary work Visa to a Spouse Visa from within the UK (i.e. you will not need to leave the country). That said, because your time in the UK on a Tier 5 Visa counts towards indefinite leave to remain (ILR) under the 10-year long residence route, for some people it will be advantageous to remain on their existing Visa category as it may lead to ILR faster.
If you are granted a Spouse Visa, it will last for a period of 30 months, after which you can then apply for an extension for a further 30 months. This will then give you a total of five years in the UK, at which point, under current immigration rules, you can apply for indefinite leave to remain (ILR), meaning you can stay permanently without needing further immigration clearance.
One of the key benefits of a Spouse Visa is that your right to work will be unrestricted. This means you can work in any sector, full-time or part-time, and you can change employers as you wish.

What is Tier 2 and 5 in UK?
Tier 2 or Tier 5? General or ICT migrant? Youth mobility or Government Exchange? What does it mean to be sponsored to work in the UK? The language of sponsored work is complicated and confusing. The options available to potential migrant workers are numerous, but none of them is easy.
Understand the difference between Tier 2 and Tier 5 workers. are skilled individuals travelling to take long-term positions in the UK, or to complete a fixed-term contract (perhaps having transferred from a related company overseas). are generally less experienced (sometimes even voluntary) staff, and their time in the UK is often limited. Applying under the wrong category at the outset can limit your options later. Choose the correct sub-category. Tiers 2 and 5 are broken down repeatedly, creating further visa routes for workers ( and have their own rules, for example), and additional opportunities for workers with a particular profile (eg the Youth Mobility route). It is important to choose the sub-category that fits you best, to maximise the opportunities the Immigration Rules can offer. Some visa routes are more straightforward than others; can be simpler than Tier 2 General, for example. Have a plan for how long you might stay in the UK. Relocating to the UK as an Intra-Company Transfer migrant might give you an easier application, but it will be of no use to you if you want to live in the UK long-term. For most ICT migrants, time under this route is capped at 5 years, with an additional 12-month ‘cooling off’ period if you leave the UK and then want to return under Tier 2. Tier 5 options are similarly restricted in terms of long-term residence, so planning is essential Money is important. Tier 2 sponsored workers must be paid an amount which meets Home Office requirements, set at particular level depending on the role the individual will fill. There are also hidden fees associated with, for the employer (licence fee, certificate of sponsorship fee and immigration skills charge) and the employee (visa fee,, additional visa centre fees). Have a clear idea of costs before starting the process. Timing can be key. If the proposed worker will be employed by a company which does not yet have the appropriate licence, sufficient time is needed to complete the licensing process in addition to individual sponsorship. This is a particular concern for Tier 2 General migrants, whose entry to the UK is dependent on a monthly ballot for sponsorship places, causing further delays in the process. Planning is again essential, to make sure you can start work on time.
