Your dependent visa will be cancelled when your tier 2 general visa is issued and will no longer be valid.

You can only enter the UK on the date your tier 2 general is valid.

You must enter the UK on tier 2 general and get it stamped on arrival as you will need to show this to collect your brp card.

Thanks CR001! Much appreciated!
Just one more query will the Tier 2 visa validity will start on the intended travel date on the visa application or work start date on the rCOS, please?
Thanks again for all your help.

It depends on the dates, ie cos valid for 3 months to be used.

Likely it will be granted in line with your cos and start date.

T2 ICT Visa and T2 General Visa

Post by Jeevan18 » Tue Dec 03, 2019 6:56 am

Hi Team

Please can you advice as I have ICT dependent visa valid until February 2020 and I applied for T2 General visa vignette from home country and its granted from Jan 2020. Currently am in the home country and will be travelling to the UK in Dec 2019.
Which visa I should I use to enter the UK in Dec 2019 as it should be ICT dependent visa, right?
If yes, do I have re-enter on vignette again in Jan 2020?

Please advice?

Thanks in advance.

Your ICT dependent visa has been cancelled and is no longer valid since the approval of your tier 2 visa. You cannot hold two different UK visas.

You need to enter the UK on your tier 2 visa vignette and can only do so from the date it is valid from.

You need your visa vignette stamped when you enter as tier 2 to be able to collect your brp.

This has already been advised when you asked previously. You will be unlikely to travel to the UK in December as you don't have a valid visa until the start date of your tier 2 in January.
