Visa vignette valid one day?

Post by Sher put » Thu Jul 06, 2017 10:15 pm

I received my tier 4 visa but the visa vignette says "valid from 09/09/2017 to 09/10/2017" (MM/DD/YEAR). My specific travel date was the 16th, im not sure if they made a mistake while issuing it but isn't the visa supposed to be valid for 30 days?

(MM/DD/YEAR)
No it has not. The UK date system is DD/MM/YEAR, so it is valid for 30 days.

Am I missing something here, or doesn't 09/09 (Sept) to 09/10 (Oct) = 30 days :?: :?

Unless you are used to using the USA date system of MM/DD/YEAR, which would make it valid for 1 day :wink:
