Does anyone know how initial entry date is calculated. I heard someone say that it is 12 months (exactly?) from the date of PCC/ medical, whichever is earlier. Just wanted to confirm if thats true?

Yes, that's correct. Let's say your meds were done on 15 September 2013 and your PCCs were done on 11 July 2013 and your visa was granted today. You would have until 11 July 2014 to enter the country to activate the visa.

This calculation is not always followed by CO.

What do you mean?

I mean, this is the highest time to give to a Grant holder. Sometimes they give much less time.

Thanks for the replies.

Well in that case if you are trying to push the initial entry date as much as possible it makes sense to do your PCC and Meds as late as possible.

thats right. Delay it as much as u can if you want the initial date to be later

Date on which you applied for PCC or date on which you got it?

Date on which you applied for PCC or date on which you got it?

It's normally the date of issue of the PCC, which is also printed on the PCC.

Actually it is PCC applied date in my case.

My self and my wife applied for PCC on 23rd Aug 2013. My wife got PCC same date and mine is not available so initiated. I received my PCC on 19th Sep 2013. But my initial entry date is given 23rd Aug 2014.
