Timeline for going to UK ater T1 approval

[Senonthachil]

Hello All

I have few doubts regarding the stay

1. If I get my Visa by next month 1st for example, is there any time limit that i have to enter UK first time?

2. In the above case, can I just go there and come back and go later, say in one or two months?

3. Is it mandatory that i have to work once i get my T1? Can i do some course for a year or so?

Many thanks in advance
Senon

Answers to the second and third questions are as follows:

2. Tier-1 is Multiple Entry type Visa. Hence you can visit and leave and can come back later.
3. Main advantage of Tier-1 visa is that the Visa holder is allowed to enter without a job and hence searching for a job on entering UK is possible. You could enroll for part time courses. If you wish to pursue full time study, then the Visa needs to be switched to Tier-4 from Tier-1.

After entering within 4 weeks and going through the registration process in the UK, is it possible to come back to my home country and then visit the UK only for job interviews? If I do that then when would they start counting time for the ILR?

Your ILR clock starts ticking as soon as you enter UK the first time. You can visit UK only during job interviews, it is a good idea. But as the senior members already pointed out in other posts, you can apply for ILR after second extension of Visa
