UK Visa question

[St George]

My wife has a standard UK visit visa that expires 4th October 2019.

 

 

 

She has just applied for a new visa that will run from 20th September 2019.

 

 

We may decide to go to the UK before the new visa start date............................. does the new visa invalidate the old one, or can she still enter the UK on, say, 4th September, on the old visa.

 

 

Thank you.

You will probably find that the current visa has been cancelled when the passport is returned.

Just by way of update, passport received this morning, with new visa affixed, and no physical sign of cancellation of the visa dated April 2019.

Wow, I was pretty sure the old visa would be cancelled with the new one? So it doesn't work like that?

That's interesting. Thanks for the update.

This is a question I never found a definitive answer to either back in 2015. Identical scenario where my girlfriend had two VVs that overlapped. Because I never found a definitive answer we didn't chance it.
