Re-entering UK after Tier 1 expires

Post by savitar » Mon Aug 05, 2013 7:44 pm

Hi all,

Long time no post, hope everyone is well.

I have a tier 1 visa which has been extended once so coming up to 5 years. It will expire on Nov 15th and I have no plans to re-apply.

My plans are to quit work around the middle / end of October and head back to OZ (I have an Australian passport) for 2-4 weeks to sort out the essentials (rent, car etc etc), then return to the UK for a few weeks to help my fiance and I pack and ship all our stuff home (house hold, cars etc) then leave around mid Dec.

My question is this, what is the reaction for the border agency likely to be for me returning after my visa is expired on a tourist visa for a few weeks to sort out the movement of my things (wrapping up affairs here)? Would it be better to return within my visa timeframe (I.e. leave Oct 15, return Nov 10th, 5 days before it expires) OR better to return AFTER the visa expires?

On my return I can have documents about rent cancellation in the UK, job resigning in the UK, goods and car shipping dates etc etc but can't guarantee a job / rent in OZ at that point (would hope to have it worked out but can't guarantee).

Any thoughts on the most likely option for the least hassle would be appreciated.

Thanks.

P.s. I did post this in the general forum section but thought it would be better here. If a Mod see's this, can you please delete the other one? Thanks.

Yes just have all the documentation with you proving you are back to the UK to sort few things out and you have your ticket back to OZ.

Just be honest with them they will not see any issues with it.

OK, thanks. Have you done this yourself? I.e. is this based on experience or a best guess of the UK Immigration's response?

It was just a guess but legally speaking if you have all the requirements and you can prove anything you said it should be ok.
