Visit Visa Length Enquiry

[specialenvoy]

Hello Everyone and Thanks for your support always, Just a clarification surrounding the length of stay with Visit Visa multiple entries.

If a visitor with two years visit visa, stays for 6 months on the first visit, how soon can the visitor return to the Uk for a visit again, should the visitor wait for another 6 months before returning to the UK again with the validity of the UK visa? Or what does the 180-day rule mean?

Anyone with this should please help

Thanks

The visitor should not exceed 180days in UK in any 12months rolling period which simply means the earliest to attempt coming on visit to UK after a 6months stay will be after 6monts stay out of UK.
Do note that a visitor can not be seen to be residing in UK under the guise of having visitor visa.
