tier 1 and visit visa

Post by immig.inf » Wed Sep 30, 2009 12:05 am

I have tier 1 visa but did not go to UK because of my present job. I plan to go to UK for a short stay and then return to my current job. Do I need a visit visa or tier 1 would be okay for travelling?

Tier 1 visa is fine as long as it is still valid. If you get a Visit visa stamped now, then it will override the Tier 1 visa. At any point in time, only the latest visa is 'active' and the conditions attached to this visa will override any conditions with the previous ones.
