Entry into UK on Tier 1
Posted: Sat Dec 08, 2012 6:08 pm
Hi,
I currently have a Tier 1 visa valid till April 2013. I lived and worked in the UK from mid-2007 to Late-2011 on a work permit followed by Tier 2 followed by Tier 1. In the latter part of 2011 I had to leave the UK for personal reasons and go back to India. For this, I quit the job in the UK and found one in India.
There are now a couple of job opportunities that have come up in the UK, but to fully explore them, I will have to visit the UK in a couple of week's time.
Can you please advise if the UKBA will allow me to enter the UK on my Tier 1 visa for a trip to explore employment opportunities in the UK despite me not having worked in the UK for the past 14-15 months? My query is only about entry into the UK on Tier 1 visa this month, NOT about extension of my tier 1 visa once it expires in April 2013.
