快满十年了，但当中学生签结束时十月份回国（签证到期前离境），第二年两月拿企业家签证回英国的。这种情况十年算断了吗？
换句话说那个单次离境不超过180天的要求，这离境期间必须要有进入英国的权利吗（entry clearance或leave to remain）？
多谢多谢~
请忽略此楼
如果你没有签证超过28天就算断了
你好，我是签证到期前离境，国内签了新的entry clearance再进英国的，间隔超过28天不到180天，这算断了吗？
比如1月5号早上坐飞机离境，6号到中国。然后1月18号从中国坐飞机，当天抵达英国入境。那以计算十年离境天数的要求，算离开了多少天呢？谢谢~~
续签快来不及了。。。。。。 
Normally it can be done within an hour
12天。
不算斷阿。離境時間正常算。
你算算你签证到期后到下一个签证之间有多少天，超过28天就算断了，那个180天指的是你身上有合法签证单次离境的天数，不知道是不是我理解错了，还是你没说明白
只要签证到期前回国，180天之内重新拿到签证回来，就不算断开。
那十年gap问题按180天算？
gap与断开：gap指是在英国境内续签 签证过期日和case raising日超过28天 但只要签证过期之前离开英国就好；断开是在指在境外得到签证并回到英国的总天数超过半年180。。。各位大神快来指正小弟理解是不是这样！？
在官网看到一个pdf Indefinite leave to remain – calculating continuous period in UK
查了一下29页。上面说：
If the applicant’s leave expires whilst they are outside the UK and they apply for new entry
clearance more than 28 days after their previous leave expires, the continuous period is
broken and leave is not aggregated.
指的是一定要离境后28天内申请才算不断吗？请大神们分析一下。搞晕了。
好像你是对的。现在制度改了，离境后签证过期28天内需要重新申请，不然算断开。
不过现在好像明确了规定签证发出日期内3个月内入境，从签证发出到入境的时间也算是在英国合法居住的时间。
14, 15楼：这份文件的第14页是说这份文件不适用于long residence吧？似乎是适用于五年签证（工签企业家等）当中续签的情况。请核实？谢谢

确实不适用10年的。10年是用上面的链接，超过28天也是可以的。
断了，超过28 天就不可以除非有特殊理由。
正解下什么叫Gap和过期拘留，28天绝对有关系，
Breaks in continuous residence
This page tells you when continuous residence is considered to have been broken for the
purpose of long residence applications.
For the purpose of calculating time spent outside the UK for the long residence rules, a month
constitutes 30 calendar days.
Events that break continuous residence
Continuous residence is considered to be broken if the applicant has:
been absent from the UK for a period of more than six months at any one time, or is
absent from the UK for a shorter period but does not have valid leave to enter the UK
on their return, or valid leave to remain on their departure from the UK
spent a total of 18 months outside the UK throughout the whole 10 year period
Time spent outside the UK
Continuous residence is not considered broken if the applicant:
is absent from the UK for 6 months or less at any one time
had existing leave to enter or remain when they left and when they returned – this can
include leave gained at port when returning to the UK as a non visa national, see
related link: Information for non-visa nationals
departed the UK after the expiry of their leave to remain, but applied for fresh entry
clearance within 28 days of that previous leave expiring
Breaks in lawful residence
This page tells you about circumstances that break lawful residence for long residence
applications and when you can use discretion for short breaks in lawful residence.
Time spent outside the UK
Gap(s) in lawful residence
You may grant the application if an applicant:
has short gaps in lawful residence through making previous applications out of time by
no more than 28 calendar days, and
meets all the other requirements for lawful residence.
The 28 day period of overstaying is calculated from the latest of the:
end of the last period of leave to enter or remain granted
end of any extension of leave under sections 3C or 3D of the Immigration Act 1971
the point that a migrant is deemed to have received a written notice of invalidity, in line
with paragraph 34C or 34CA of the Immigration Rules, in relation to an in-time
application for further leave to remain
Periods of overstaying
When refusing an application on the grounds it was made by an applicant who has
overstayed by more than 28 days, you must consider any evidence of exceptional
circumstances which prevented the applicant from applying within the first 28 days of
overstaying.
这个guidance，请看第一页上面的试用人群，是针对所有PBS下5年永居身份的导引，不是10年的
所以说在签证没到期之前回国，完了在签证到期后的28天内 申请新的签证，Long residence便能续上。 那问题来了，如果申请人是在前一签证到期后28天内递交的签证，但是真正拿到签证时间是在前一签证到期28天之后了，这个还算作是break吗？
