I would very much appreciate any input on this.
10 year long residence
I have seen many posts saying that if your current visa expires and if you leave the country before visa expiry, your 10 year continuous period would not be broken as long as you return to the UK within 180 days with a new entry clearance.
My question is does this new entry clearance application have to be submitted within 28 days of current visa expiry date? I have searched many posts and seen mixed views on this issue. My interpretation of the policy guidance is that this is not a necessary condition, but please senior experts could you help me and give me your view?
My current Tier 2 visa is due to expire on 10th April and I am planning to return to my home country and apply for a postgraduate course (previously completed BA in the UK). I plan to leave on 10th April - do I have to make the new entry clearance application within 28 days of that date to maintain my continuous period?
Many thanks for your help!
