Clarifying Country of Residence and 180-Day Rule on e-Visa Forms

To the souls wandering through the maze of bureaucracy, I seek your guidance.

My time in the United Kingdom, defined by the verses of my student visa, draws to a close in three weeks. As I attempt to fill out an e-Visa application for my next journey, the words on the screen blur into deep meaning yet offer no clarity.

The form asks for my Country of Usual Residence. Should I claim the UK, where my books and heart currently reside, or India, where I must soon return?

Furthermore, a query regarding “valid for 180 days” troubles me. Does this soulful requirement refer to the total time I was permitted to live here, or the remaining validity from today? My visa is a multiple-entry pass, yet its sands are running out. Do I answer “Yes” to holding a valid visa, or is that a path to rejection?

I await your soulful words and wisdom.

Realizing this is not about a permanent relocation application but a travel e-Visa, there are specific logic checks you need to run.

Has anyone from India actually used a UK Visa with less than 21 days validity for a third-country e-Visa?
