Timing between 1st and 2nd stage

[abc]

Can someone confirm that I’m correct in thinking that if I am endorsed (Stage 1) I have three months to apply for the visa (Stage 2) and during this process it will ask me my anticipated arrival date. This date can be anytime in the future.

I’d like to apply now but I don’t plan on arriving until June 1. That is okay, correct?

Searching in the forums there are some comments that the timeline between State 1 and BRP must not be longer then 3 months.

I found my answer in the stage 2 forum:

Can I put an entry date that is far away?

. I got my endorsement in April 2022 and when they asked when I wanted to enter the UK in my stage 2 application, I filled Feb 2023. And that is exactly what was put on the vignette. Everything went well. The only thing you will face is that your BRP might not be available at the post office that you chose when you enter the UK. You just need to contact the home office and they will deliver to your house at no cost. Also your time starts reading from when you enter the UK

Do you know how long BRP stays in the post office you choose? I plan to enter the UK to get my BRP and come back to my home country and move when I find a job.

can we come back to home country after getting BRP?

Also in how many days we have to go back to UK , is there any mandatory days gap?

You can do this. Just ensure you meet the 180 days require after you move in fully.
