Re-entry UK under Tier 2 (valid less than 8 weeks)

Post by iamwiew » Wed Jan 18, 2017 10:58 am

Hi all,

I am planning to travel abroad for a week on personal matter and will come back to UK. I currently hold Tier 2 (General) visa, however my work visa is on valid until the first week of March. Would I have any difficulties to re-enter UK, say the first/ second week of February? is there a minimum period of valid UK visa to gain an entry back to UK?

Thanks all in advance for advice

Hi,

You should be fine coming back to UK as long as you have valid leave.

Thanks,

It would be nice if your employer issued your COS for your extension then there is less doubt as to why you are returning.
