Dear all,
I have read some answers to the similar questions, but I am unsure my case. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

I came in UK via Skill Worker visa route and switched to Global Talent visa after few months. I applied for skill worker visa outside UK and only received BRP decision letter as below.

The dates I have are the following:
• BRP Decision letter dated on 27 June 2022 (as above)
• Vignette 'Valid From' date: 10 August 2022
• Date I entered the UK: 14 Aug 2022
• BRP issue date: 14 July 2022.

My question is: Which date does my qualifying period start from? Is it 27 June, or 14 July or 10 August?
Actually, the sentence in BRP Decision letter : ...you have permission to be in the UK as skill worker migrant from 10 August 2022 ... makes me confused.

It is the earliest date of an immigration document so 14 July 2022. The 10 August 2022 probably matches the date on your CoS

Thank you so much for your response.

I am quite confused as in your response as link: indefinite-leave-to-remain/ilr-5yrs-qua ... 42717.html, the start date is visa approval letter date. For my case, in the BRP decision letter dated on 27 Jun 2022 mentioned that " your application for a UK visa has been successful". Are they different?

Their visa letter approval date matches their visa vignette/BRP issue date.
For you, I erred on the side of caution and advised you to use the BRP date which is the earliest date on an immigration document you were issued

Thanks for clarifying it. My start date is 15 Aug 2022 on my COS, so the vignette is valid from 10 Aug 2022.

Then, I could book the appointment on or after (3 years+ July 14, 2022 -28days), right?
