UK Tourist Visa validity for first entry
I have received a UK tourist visa (Multiple Entries) issued on 25th January and valid until 25 July. I have plans to go in June/July.
Is there any validity requirement for making my first entry into the UK, as in some countries where you have to make first entry in a certain time period? Can I enter the UK any time between 25th January and 25th July?
Best Answer
Or I can enter UK any time between 25th January and 25th July.
Yes, but you would have to be out of the country before the 26th of July.

Visas to the UK are routinely issued for six months, unless the Entry Clearance Officer decides otherwise, that's rare. The visa is valid for travel immediately, unless you ask for it to be post dated, and the holder must leave the UK on or before the expiry date of the passport.UK Tourist / Visitor Visa Process 2022 | Apply | Documents | Fee | Visa Validity | UK Immigration
