Premium appointment- do they key your old BRP?

[asn234]

Hello,

If you apply via a premium apppointment for Tier 2 Gen visa (change of job), do they keep your old BRP? My old BRP will still have valid leave until 31st of December 2015. My new BRP won't be valid until 1 Jan 2016. I'm guessing I will need the old BRP to travel until the new BRP is valid?

I also have the same question. Anyone?

Hi,

I have the answer: They do keep your old BRP. However, my new BRP was valid from the date it was issued (08-12-2015) even though my new job didn't start until 01-01-2016. So it was fine to travel on that. Think it took a week or less to get the new BRP.
