Tier 2 General - initial 30 days entry clearance expiring

[esree2000]

Hello,I got my Tier 2 general visa with the initial 30 days entry clearance which will expires on March 23rd. I cannot travel wtihin this date since I am still waiting on my dependent's visa and I want to travel together.

Is there any way I can apply for this 30 days entry clearance visa extension?

PLEASE HELP!!

You have to apply for a visa vignette, costs about £170 and can take a couple of weeks.

Thank you again. Is there any time limit to apply for this? Do i need to apply before it expires or I can do anytime?

You are awesome!

I am not sure.

But please bear in mind that your BRP card, which is your visa, will be ready to collect in the UK and if not collected, gets sent back to HO, which creates a whole lot of other problems as you need the BRP card for everything here to prove you have the right to reside in the UK.

Thank you for that flag. I have found, I can nominate to someone if I cannot pick my BRP card.

Not possible as you need to present your passport with the entry stamp to collect your brp card from the Post Office.

Well, as per this link: https://www.gov.uk/biometric-residence-permits/collect

If you cannot collect your BRP
You can nominate someone else to collect your BRP if you have a serious illness or disability that prevents you from collecting it.

The person you nominate must have one of the following:

a passport
an EU national identity card
a BRP
You can get someone to make the nomination for you, for example a legal representative, charity, employer, college or university.

You’ll be told within 5 working days if the person you nominate is approved to collect your BRP.

If you change your mind, you can still collect your BRP yourself or you can nominate a different person. You do not need to cancel the original nomination.

BRP is only released when the individual is noted as being given entry to the UK. No entry no BRP...
