I am not fighting here against the law and trying to make changes, have no energy to do that. I will pay the fee as I paid first time and carry on.

I was just wondering if there will be transition period for cases like mine.

I understand that but Croatian citizens already have discount on visa fees as Croatia has ratified the 1961 Council of Europe Social Charter. So if you follow law rigidly you are right, but if you want to be fair it is not fair. There should be some transition period take for example someone whose v...

I will have to extend my visa next year in OCT. Croatia will join EU on 1/7/2013 so I will actually need visa only for period OCT 2012 - JUL 2013 (8 months). But when I apply for visa extension it will be visa for 3 years that I will actually not needed. Does anyone know if there will be some discou...

How many points do I actually need for my extension? I applied for my Tier1 Visa on 8/2010 and visa was granted with delayed date 10/2010 so I will have to extend my visa on 10/2012. I want to prepare myself but I am completely confused. When I go to UKBA points calculator it says that I need 95 poi...

I will star my new job tomorrow where i will need to travel alot around EU.

Can you please tell me if that will affect my eligibility to extend my visa?

Thank you!

How do they know? Many things like healthcare, driving permission, extension of visa ... depends on time spent in UK. Problem no1: How do they know how long I am in UK? I'm Croatian citizen so I don't need to register with the police ... So how do they know? Only by stamp on my visa? What if I loose...

Well, I'm Croatian citizen and have my first tier1 visa for next two years (sep-2012). Croatia is in finalization period of negotiation with EU. Expects to receive joinment contract in spring 2010. Usually it take 1 - 1.5 year ... So I will experience one of two scenarios: 1. Croatia join EU 1-JUN-2...

And if I go 3 weeks per year on vacations outside UK does that mean that these days does not count?

I don't know why the new government complicate so much with high skilled migrants. I think to put cap on Tier1 is the easiest way to control immigration and to low down the number of immigrants. But, I don't think that "degree immigrants" are the problem for the UK. I think that new govern...
