Does my working visa start when I enter the UK, or when I start working?

When my visa gets stamped on arrival... does that mean I have 2 years from that day to use up the 12 months work?? I have applied for a visa but now I'm not sure when I will need to use it. I am still going there in July so it will get stamped.

Answer:
No - upon arrival is NOT a fact. Not in the UK.
Your visa is active from the day it is ISSUED. If a WHM visa is issued on 1/1/06 then it will expire on 1/1/08 - irresepctive of when you enter the UK. If you don't use it then you can't get another.
Your 12mths worth of permission to work under WHM regulations starts the day you start working for the first time (unless the visa expires before 12mths is over).
Upon arrival! This is fact!

On a side note, when you have your taxes done, you should be entitled to a full refund due to certain statuses.
Visa expiration typically is computed from the date of issue, regardless of when you enter the country. Your visa should have an expiration date posted on it.
Why don't you just forget the UK and try to improve your own country? We did that and made the best country on earth and I must say mass immigration will ruin it
from the day of issue
FROM THE DATE OF ISSUE.AND PILTDOWN, BLIMEY, YOU NEED TO CHILL, YOU HAVE SOME SERIOUS ISSUES.OUR AMAZING BRITAIN HAS ALWAYS HAD SOME LEVEL OF IMMIGRATION - AND MIGRANT WORKERS...YOU'RE PROBABLY PART ROMAN/SAXON/FRENCH ETC ETC ETC.ONE WORLD, ONE SKY.AND IT IS AMAZING AND BEAUTIFUL - FEEL THE LOVE MAN, JUST FEEL THE LOVE
