Weird situation. Any help is appreciated

Post by vn1991 » Fri Aug 12, 2022 11:09 am

Hi all

I was living in London and working for my firm's London office till January 2022. My visa type is Skilled worker (Tier 2 before renewal), which is valid till 2024. In feb I moved to Zurich Switzerland to continue working in Firm's Zurich office. Now I am supposed to travel to London next month, I am not sure if I should apply for a visitors visa or I can travel with my BRP which is technically valid till 2024. I checked on the right to rent and right to work portal of gov.uk and at both the portals my visa/brp showed as valid.

Any advice here will be very useful. Thank you all.

You can travel on you BRP as it is still valid. If you venture to apply for a visitors visa, then your rights here in the UK to live and work is gone with the wind.

However, you might have to answer some questions at the Boarder as you've been away for about 6 months now.
No sin in failing, you just have to try and try again!
