I have a tourist visa to UK from July 26, 2015 to January 26, 2016.
How do they count the months I'm going to stay in UK - from the time I arrived in UK or I will be allowed only the months stated in my passport, that is July 26 to January 26, 2016?
Best Answer
The simple answer is that you must leave the UK no later than the end date on your visa, i.e. no later than Jan.26 2016.
When you received your visa, it should have arrived with a one-page pamphlet titled "How to read your visa". That pamphlet explains what each of the fields mean, including the validity date for the visa.
