Can you return the next day?
Ie come home from France.on a Friday and go to Greece on Saturday?
I am just wondering if there is a required time delay before you can go out of the UK again.
Regards
Claire

Hi Claire,
In that case you may be spending less than 24 hours in the UK. I will have to check if there is any case law on this particular subject.

Thank you David, I don't really want to ring the government site as it may open a can of worms.
I only go for 4 weeks at a time, as we have an apartment in Spain, but would like clarification on travel laws.

Hi Claire,
I cannot find an exact answer to the question as to how little time you need to have spent in the UK before you leave for another 4 weeks. But I should imagine it would be at least 24 hours for it to be counted as a " stay " in the UK. Otherwise you could just be in transit through the UK. If you look at the ESA Regs it is describing a " temporary absence " I should imagine that if you had lots of temporary absences a DWP Decison Maker could argue that the cumulative effect was to make the absences " not temporary " and that your home and " main residence " are now actually abroad.
You should take legal advice from someone who is an expert in this area.
