Have multiple entry 5 year UK visit visa on Pakistani passport.

Pakistan is in red list countries and visitors aren't allowed.

Would visitors be allowed if they stayed in an Amber listed countries for 11 or more nights before travelling to the UK?

The guidance isn't clear from Gov website.

Thank you appreciate prompt response.

It is weird that one has to prove English 3 times until ILR. Hope B1 is accepted for citizenship later on.
