"Tier 1 (General) visa 1. Overview

You can no longer apply for or extend Tier 1 (General) visas."

As far as I remember, this type of visa is abolished many years ago.

"Tier 1 (General)" was abolished. Instead, UK has introduced "Tier 1 - Entrepreneur" and "Tier 1 - Exceptional Talent" visas.

Well, it's better than nothing. But I think that 99.99% of the current UK cirtizens would never meet these requirements.
