Continous abscence from UK

[sp27]

For calculating continuous period in UK via Tier 2 General route.....can I start the calculation from:
1. The date the visa was issued
Or
2. The date you entered in the UK first.

1. Please DO NOT post ILR questions in the Tier 2 Sub Forum.

2. Continue in your existing ILR topic you already have!!
