如题。我在UKBA的网站上找不到T2 Dependent 转 T2 General 的信息…
请问有没有过来人知道，T2 Dependent想转成T2可以在英国直接转么？还是需要回国重新申请？

dependent的话，除非是t4的dependent，否则lz作为t2 dependent则需要回国申请。
谢谢回复。那Dependent visa是不是还继续有效呢？还是说只要申请了T2，如果被拒签了，我就不能用原来的T2 dependent进入英国了？
继续有效:)
我是说t2 g被拒但t2 dependent还继续有效，因为后一个成功取得的visa会自动取代前一个visa，但除非有特殊说明，即使新的visa申请不成功，旧的visa只要没过期就继续有效，所以每个人只有一个有效的visa，目前唯一知道的灰色地带是eea 2似乎可以某种程度上和某些签证共存。
明白了！谢谢！！
这下放心多了。。。
