Urgent: Query on Travel during CoS Expires

Post by Bapu » Fri Nov 15, 2013 4:26 pm

Hi,

I am currently on Tier 2 ICT Long Term Leave to Remain visa which is going to be expired on 14 Dec 2013 and my CoS ends on 30 Nov 2013.

At present my company have initiated a new CoS till 30 Oct 2014.

Query:
I am planning to travel to India on 22nd Nov 2013 and return to UK on 01 Dec 2013. Is it possible for me to enter UK and apply my visa extension for a new CoS within UK?

Please advice.

Thanks,
Bapu

Your visa is for the purpose of work in the UK and your work will have finished by the time you plan to return even if your visa is valid for a further 13 days. The time beyond the work end date is for winding up your affairs in the UK before leaving.

You will probably be refused re-entry

Thanks Manci..

What if I get the new CoS ready by the time return to UK? Is still the chance of my entry refused? Is it not possible to enter into UK and apply for extension with new CoS?

Don't think so, a CoS is not leave to enter or remain, call the immigration enquiry bureau to check (0870 606 7766)

Why not apply for a new visa wherever you are? It's cheaper than FLR in-country.
