To prevent an unnecessary additional extension before qualifying for settlement, I believe you should initially enter the UK within 28 days (4 weeks) of the visa's effective date.

hi,
thank u for the reply.
after entering within 4 weeks and making all the registration process in UK, is it possible to come back to the home country, settle with the current job in the home country (4-5 months) and go again back to UK within 6 months of the tier 1 visa date?
regards

Is it so..
I don't think since when I had inquired in June abt the time frame
from BHC, I had got reply like.

- There is no time frame for coming to UK
-Also, for extension it is up to us to apply under then existing rules.

But i don't know rules changed from then.
If that is so,please confirm because I myself have spent 2 months outside UK(staying in India).

Vinny,
I guess what you have quoted for is true when someone applied for Permanent Settlement. I am not sure if the same is true for initial travel of Tier 1 Visa.

Folks,

Can someone please confirm whether we need to travel to UK within 3 or 6 months of getting Tier 1 Visa, or can the person travel anytime in the whole 3 year period of Tier 1 validity?

I am asking because in case of UK Work Permit (UK) Visa which is valid for 2 years and is usually filed by an employer/company for the person, the Visa expires if not used within 6 months! I am sure of this for Work Permit visa as it has happened with my fellow colleagues, but am not sure if this is applicable for Tier 1 Visa also.

Has anyone confirmed this by calling BHC in India?

Thanks

Thanks everyone for clarifying this doubt. I was desperately looking for the required time frame after getting Tier 1 visa.
