Returning to UK while in visit visa
 
Hey all.

I've been in Dubai since Jan this year. We relocated out here when my fiance was offered a job and I've been job hunting ever since we arrived.

I've potentially found the ideal role (had interviews, am waiting on an offer which is apparently due on Sunday/Monday next week).

My question is-I'm due to return to the UK for a wedding at the end of April. If I don't have my residence visa sorted by then, will I be ok to leave the country and more importantly get back in if I'm still on a visit visa?

Any advice would be really appreciated!

(PS - this forum has been an amazing help since we arrived, so thank you xx)

If you have a UK passport, I think you can come and go as you please...

you might have to do a visa run before then anyway. your visa is only valid for 60 days and you will be fined if you overstay!

No need to panic...just take a weekend break using one of those cheap flight offers currently available...or do what most do and drive to Oman and back.
