Hey Nomads, I run a subscription site in the gaming industry (Magic: The Gathering to be exact) and I have a number of friends in the UK that I like to visit frequently. Iโm American, so I can get a 6-month visa just by showing up at the border.
Iโm 2 months into a 3 month stay here, and I just found out that I need to come back about a month after I leave.
My question is, how is the 6-month period calculated? My assumption was that I cannot spend more than 6 months in any given 12-month period in the UK on my visa. I am asking because I intend to come back to the UK after spending the winter somewhereโฆwarmer
Iโm trying to sort out whether I can come back in early 2017, as I have work obligations in Ireland in February and would love to piggyback onto that trip.
Does anyone have experience with this visa and comings-and-goings? I donโt want to risk screwing up and getting in trouble and jeopardizing my ability to enter the UK in the future, so Iโd like to get some proper guidance on this.
