The Youth Mobility visa guidance says that I can only apply if I am entering the UK within three months of the application date — but what if I want/need to apply earlier?
This guidance means that the latest your visa can be dated is three months from the date of application. So, if you are applying in February, you should state the your expected date of arrival in the UK is no longer than three months after you apply (ie May). You can still enter the UK at any time after this date, however the two year validity period of your visa will already have started. So the later you leave entering the UK, the less time you will have on your visa.
