It is visa start date for both.
Post 6 in the first link dora5 not say date of entry for pbs dependents. It specifically refers to spouse visa which is a different visa category completely
Amazing, thank you!
So to clarify, as long as skilled worker and their dependant wife and child enter UK within the 90 days of visa being issued (which is the validity of passport visa), their start date will be the issue date?
To further clarify, if their situation is:
Visa issued 29.12.2023.
Arrival date: 11.3.2024.
Their start date will be 29.12.2023.
Their ILR qualifying period will be 28 days before 29.12.2028. so around 1.12.2028.
Finally, since they arrived about 70 days after visa start date, they should not spend more than 110 (ish) days outside of the UK in year one since on rolling basis from 29.12.2023. to 29.12.2024. will be important not to spend more than 180 days outside of the UK in order for year 1 to be valid for ILR.
Is all of the above correct?
