Travelling after endorsement

Moving to the UK
1

Hi everyone,I just got endorsed for exceptional talent by Tech Nation. I have a question regarding travelling when in process of application.
I have a vacation so I will need to travel to outside of UK for three weeks. While searching on the internet, it looks like there might be an issue. I do not think it make sense since I have not applied for the visa itself just got my decision for endorsement. I am living in UK and have a valid visa for 3 more years. Has anyone experienced or know any issues at the border?

Thanks,
Burak

From here: Apply for the Global Talent visa : Switch to this visa - GOV.UK

You must not travel outside of the UK, Ireland, the Channel Islands or the Isle of Man until you get a decision. Your application will be withdrawn if you do.

Stage 1 is still part of the overall visa application so this may apply. Better call UKVI to make sure before you travel

Doesn’t matter if you haven’t applied for stage 2. You can confirm however.

I think you should travel and out in your application after your trip. As long as you have a multiple entry visa that is valid. The only alternative you have is applying for stage 2 and paying for super priority to get a decision same day

Yeap, I still have a valid visa. After initial investigations, it looks like it is not going to be a problem. I will keep this topic updated with my experience.
Thanks for all the responses :slight_smile:
