All visa nationals need entry clearance to enter the UK, even as tourists. Commonwealth and non-visa nationals are given up to 6 months of entry clearance to come to the UK for tourism on arrival at a UK port of entry. Entry Clearance will specify from when the entry clearance is valid and when it expires depending on the nature of the entry clearance sought.
For any other type of visa however, entry clearance must be sought. Work Permit, Tier 1 Skilled Migration, Ancestry Visa and Student Visa holders all require entry clearance before they may enter the UK, to name just a few. Entry Clearance is applied for at the British Embassy/High Commission in the applicant’s home country.

A person enters the UK on 1 September 2004 with entry clearance as a student which is valid until 31 October 2005. On 5 November 2005 (after their previous leave expired) the person leaves the UK. On 5 January 2006 the person re-enters the UK with valid entry clearance as a student. Will the person’s continuous residence be deemed to be broken?
Yes. The person did not have valid leave on the date of their departure so continuous residence has been broken.

多谢版主这么及时的回复。我还想再咨询一下,我看我的护照发现,在英国续签的几次,比如说上一次valid until 是6月,我5月寄签,8月HO才寄回passport,上面的date of issue是8月,这样算有gap么? 因为虽然我没有出境,但是距上一个签证的截止月份是6月,而新的签证issue date是8月。issue date = case raise date么?
