I have a 6-month visa to enter the UK starting June 8th. Do my 6 months start when I enter the UK in August or from the start of June? The visa expires on December 8th. If I enter in August, can I stay till February?

The date your visa expires is the last date you are allowed to be in the UK, whether you enter 6 months before or 1 day.

  • @Mike You can’t change the actual start date once the visa has been issued but you can of course enter later than that. There are certain circumstances in which you can extend the visa from in the U.K. gov.uk/guidance/immigration-rules/…
