HI
I want to ask if you had any problem returning back to UK? I am on same state now and I was wondering if less time on visa validity will cause any problem? I would highly appreciate your reply.
Also, can someone please clarify what this means??
Absences from the UK (section 233-235 of Tier 2 visa guidance)
If you have been granted entry clearance, or leave to remain for more than 6 months, your
leave will not lapse when you leave the common travel area if you continue to be employed
by, and have not ceased working for, your sponsor for a period of one calendar month or
more (see paragraph 243 below), unless your leave passes its expiry date or you stay
outside the UK for more than 2 years.
234.However, if you do not have entry clearance or you have leave to remain which was granted
for less than 6 months, your leave will lapse if you leave the common travel area.
235.It is important to make sure that if you are travelling overseas for any reason that you fully
understand the implications of your leave lapsing or expiring while you are overseas. You
may need to wait 12 months until you could apply to return to the UK under Tier 2 if this
happens.
