Re-entering the UK on Tier 2 visa

Post by BravoCharlie » Wed Apr 12, 2023 12:38 pm

Hi,

My Tier 2 visa is going to expire on 26/10/2023. I plan to travel to my home country in July and return to the UK in early September.

My questions is: Should my UK visa be valid for a certain minimum duration (e.g., 3 months, 6 months etc.) before I can re-enter the UK or is it ok to re-enter anytime before my visa expires?

Thanks.

Probably subject to Employer’s approval?

Thanks. I will be on my annual leave. So probably a proof of that would be sufficient?
