Travel date

[sasif_2003]

Hi,
Do I need to specify exact travel date on the tier1 application form ?

Is it OK if I fill the date of travel 2 months from the date of submission of the application?

thanks

Yes and yes.

The ECO should check the applicant's visa application form (VAF) for the proposed date of travel in order to prevent unnecessary applications for an extension of stay, and possible claims for a refund of the extension fee.

Where an applicant may not intend or be able to travel to the UK immediately following their application: the ECO has discretion to defer the 'effective' date for up to three months after entry clearance has been authorised.
