B2 visa - traveling every year for 6 months and then traveling to UK? - Person Holding Smartphone

Hi my parents have B2 visa which is valid for 10 years and they also have tourist visa to UK where my brother resides. Can they travel every year to the US and stay for 6 months and then go to UK and stay there for 6 months? Effectively not staying in India at all? Will this cause problems if this is done every year? They are around 65 years.

Thank you for the responses. Their funding for their stay is done by me and my brother. Haven't really thought of the health issues currently. I am just not sure if its legally ok to continuously do this for the coming years.

Can I visit the UK for 6 months every year?

You can visit the UK as a Standard Visitor for tourism, business, study (courses up to 6 months) and other permitted activities. You can usually stay in the UK for up to 6 months. You might be able to apply to stay for longer in certain circumstances, for example to get medical treatment.

Can I come back to UK after 6 months?

Your new Visitor immigration permission may not be for a further six months: the Border Force Officer may give you just the time you need to complete your studies, or six months minus the length of time you recently spent in the UK as a Visitor.

How soon can I reenter the UK on tourist visa?

The earliest you can apply is 3 months before you travel.

How many times can you enter the UK on a tourist visa?

Although there is no specific maximum period of time which you can spend in the UK in any period, as long as each visit does not exceed 6 months, your application for a Standard Visitor Visa will be refused if a caseworker has reason to believe that you are living in the UK through frequent or successive visits.
