Entry Sticker - 1 month Validity

Post by Mohammed Danish » Thu Jan 10, 2019 7:44 am

Hi

Got the offer from the UK all formalities are done and i have been told that at initial 1 month sticker will be provided and you have to travel within 1 month.

in my case it will not be possible for me to travel within 1 month. hence i will require an additional time.

How can i apply for additional 1 month sticker after the expiry of the initial one ?
how much it will cost me ?
is all the process will be repeated ?

Can you guide me the process how to apply for the extension and the right time to apply the extension - after expiry of the sticker or before expiry ?

Thank you.
Mohammed

You either put an intended date of travel in your visa application form for the 1 month visa to start at a certain date or if you don't or did not do that, you have to pay roughly £180 to get a new 30 day visa vignette transfer.

What is your work start date in your CoS?

What date do you intend leaving for the UK?

work start date in COS / Date you plan to arrive in UK is 4th March 2019

But i will resign from my current company after my visa is issued my notice period is 30days and usually it will take a week for me to get settlement and visa work permit cancellation in UAE. after that i am planning to visit my home country for 7 days ( India ) and will fly from india to UK.

So i will miss the date of the sticker which is 30days.

So from where should i apply for extension sticker ( UAE or India ) or before expiry apply it from UAE so that i can travel from India to UK without further formalities.

could you suggest me some appropriate way ?

My application is not yet submitted, as my Degree is sent to UK Naric for comparison and for English language requirement.

You can suggest something so that i can forward them to apply changes on the dates ?

thank you.

Why not simply state your intended date of travel so that the visa can be issued accordingly with the correct validity. Then if it is not and HO made a mistake, you get it corrected for free.

You have to do this in the UAE where you applied and not india.

i want to know the sticker will be valid for 30 days only.

i do not want to resign from my current position unless my UK visa is confirmed and after confirmation 30 days time to fly to UK.

so in any case i will miss my entry date as additional 7 days require in UAE and 7 days visit to india.

or

do you mean that i will be notified that my visa is approved prior to the 30 days sticker so that i can resigned earlier date before stamping of the sticker

Please help !

You are not reading my replies.

You will only know your visa is approved when you get your passport.

Ask UKVI to start visa from your date of travel, which you can mention in the visa application form!!

Hi..... , I understood the 30 days sticker date will start from my date of travel which is mentioned in COS and application. Thanks.

I also want to know once my appointment is confirmed in the UK embassy in UAE.

Which all documents will be required to be taken.
1- Passport.
2- UK naric certificate of comparison and English requirement.

And ?

Is my original degree certificate is required ? As uK naric is already done.

Thank you in advance.
