I will be grateful and thankful to u,if u can inform me. thanking u, DEVASSYKUTTY Dear Devassikutty, Thanks for your query. I understand you are concerned about the stay outside the UK (stay in Kerala) I would ask you to see my previous answer to another question regarding visit visa to the UK. The thumb rule is not to stay for more than 180 days in the UK during one year. If you have stayed in the UK for 6 months continuously then you should not be visiting again for at least 6 months.
