'Somebody' was wrong. However, your sister shouldn't spend more time in the UK than she is spending in her home country, as this could be considered as attempting to reside rather than visit.

Please don't send me PMs asking for immigration advice on posts that are on the open forum. If I haven't responded there, it's because I don't have the answer. I'm a moderator, not a legal professional.

Hello Casa
Thank you so much. Thanks for your reply. My sister is planning to stay in the UK for 2 weeks for the first visit. After 2 weeks , she will go back to Africa. Then in about 3 months, she want to come to UK again for another 3 weeks . I just want to know if its allowed for someone to travel on UK visitor visa more than once or twice.
Thanks
