Starting Work after the Start date on your COS

Post by Oppatt » Wed Apr 06, 2016 2:42 am

Hi,

I received my certificate of sponsorship with a start date of the 29th March 2016. I applied for and received my Tier 2 Visa which is valid to enter the UK from the 21st March to 20th April 2016. The date which I'm starting my job has now changed to the 9th May 2016.

My certificate of sponsorship states it is valid for 3 months from the date it’s assigned to you, which is the 9th June 2016. My Tier 2 Visa states "your stay must start no more than 14 days before the start date on your certificate of sponsorship".

Can I enter the UK on the 14th April which is after the start date on my certificate of sponsorship but 14 days before my actual start date with work.

Kind regards,

Kieirn
