Visitor Visa Issued, But Some Questions

[parentsukvisit]

Hi,

I had applied for UK Visitor Visa of my parents on 11/01/2018 online, and submitted documents on 16/01/2018, in the application I had mentioned the dates of intended travel on 01/03/2018 and leaving UK on 31/03/2018.

They issued visa but the start date of visa is 18/01/2018 and end date is 18/07/2018.

Now, Should I contact UKVI to change the start and expiry dates or just leave it as it is,
Further is there any such requirements that you have to travel within one month of receiving/start of your visa otherwise the visa is finished?

My parents are kind of thinking to come in sometime in April when the weather is bit warm? Do I need to inform the UKVI of their new intended date and leaving date or they can come any time and leave any time as long as it falls in start and expiry date of visa.

Please guide

Now, Should I contact UKVI to change the start and expiry dates or just leave it as it is, If it is their error and your intended date of travel was very clearly stated, they should correct it for free. It could take a couple of weeks.

Further is there any such requirements that you have to travel within one month of receiving/start of your visa otherwise the visa is finished? No there is no such requirement for a visitor visa holder.

My parents are kind of thinking to come in sometime in April when the weather is bit warm? Do I need to inform the UKVI of their new intended date and leaving date or they can come any time and leave any time as long as it falls in start and expiry date of visa.
