Visitor Visa and BRP

Post by aspirant910 » Wed Dec 04, 2019 9:35 am

Hello,
I believe if you apply for a 6-month visitor visa you get a visa on a sticker which is valid for 6 months. I am not sure about the visa applied for a beyond 6-month duration for example - 2 years. Do you get a visa on sticker valid for 2 years or its for 30 days validity and travel within 30 days of the issue date and later collect BRP in UK ?

Please suggest.

Visitor visas are NOT issued as BRP cards as it is not a visa that permits the holder to live in the UK.

It is only issued as a visa vignette. There is NO 'travel within 30 days rule' for visitor visas.

If this is regarding your previous question for your mother, please continue in that topic rather than starting a new one.
