visit visas

[sueaye]

I read somewhere on the internet that you can't keep getting uk visit visas time after time in a row...its like staying here permanently i guess. Is that true? Or could someone show me where it says that on the net- as i have lost where i originally looked at.

Many thanks

2.1.9 Frequency and Duration of Visits
There is no restriction on the number of visits a person may make to the United Kingdom nor any requirement that a specified time must elapse between successive visits. The fact that a person has made a series of visits with only brief intervals between them would not, in the absence of any other relevant factors, constitute sufficient ground for refusal.
It is reasonable, however, for the immigration officer to consider the stated purpose of the visit in the light of the length of time that has elapsed since previous visits. A visitor should not, for example, normally spend more than 6 out of any 12 months in this country

thank you, that is really helpful.
So can i just check..cos of my pregnancy brain is a bit crazy at the mo- that it is unlikely to get 2 visit visas in a row, e.g. get one for 6 months, return back to country of origin for 2 ish days then get another one??

Almost impossible I'd say esp if obviously preggers.

And if u tried and got bounced it might bugger up future immigration plans a bit.
