What is the exit procedure after resigning, like returning BRP (Tier 2 employer) - Leaving the UK to return to India?

Post by yogesh gopal » Sun May 05, 2019 7:05 pm

I'm resigning from my UK employer that sponsored for my Tier 2 visa, before the visa expires. I want to leave the UK, to go back to my country, and I want to do it properly. Reading online, someone says that I need to return my BRP card to UK home office - but never mentioned any details to whom, where, etc. Also, I'm aware that my employer has informed the Home Office about my resignation, as per my request. I'm planning to fly to return to my country the next day of my resignation - having said that I cannot wait for UKBA's Curtailment Letter, etc to be posted to my current address in the UK (as I will not be there). I want to know what is the exit procedure before I leave the UK properly, so I do not get any issues if I want to visit UK in future?

You can simply leave. No need to do anything else.

If you want to do belt and braces - but be aware there is really no need to this - when you are at the airport you can hand over your BRP to a Border Force Officer and explain you are leaving and not returning on that visa. To be honest it is way more hassle than it is worth and it does not add to anything.

They have exit details electronically from the airlines that they match up to Sponsorship withdrawal notifications.

Do I need to show BRP while LEAVING the UK?

Post by yogesh gopal » Thu May 09, 2019 5:17 pm

I've Tier 2 sponsorship work Visa- BRP. I'm resigning my job in the UK and leaving abroad, so I do not need UK visa/BRP anymore. Im aware that I need to cut the BRP & return it to UKVI. But I wonder will I need to have BRP while I leave the UK - will I be asked to show BRP in my exit departure? I'm inclined that BRP is needed while I ENTER the UK again? So can I cut the BRP before my travel from the UK - no issues in airport ? Thanks...
