Maybe.

His visa should be the right type but he would have to apply first and get it and then all his family would have to apply after and get it themselves.

The kicker is he'd have to return to UK after less than 2 years (I think) to retain the status and return means live here.

So any jaunt to stadium would have the be short lived so it's not so easy for someone who is non eu status to go do this and come back to UK then.

The couldn't really stay for school while he goes for the football season for example and I'm very sure he'd not want that either.

I'm sure mo wants to stay but needs a contract to stay. I'm sure he will then do a Jan molby and end up a fat ex player on the ambassadors team.

However he needs the contract.

If he has ILR he can come and go as he pleases - given been here 7 years? I’d imagine already has it as lfc would have had to extend his original visa anyway so easer to get just ilr as a one off cost. Makes no sense to extend a visa behind 5 years

Yes but not for extended times.

If you leave for 2 years then you lose it so you can only leave the UK for however long and come back to prove you are resident.

He is from Egypt so doesn't fall under any of the agreed dispensations so it seems to be a 2 year maximum time to go and come back.

He can apply for the status and pay for it to get that status for him and all his family (presume they did it, why not?) But unless he goes the next step.and gets citizenship (which would not go down well at home probably) then he has to relain to have right to remain.

I agree totally he should.have been got one onto that status for visa but it will be broken if he goes to Saudi

He is a very rich famous person so can't see he will have any problems tbh

Yeah, but I doubt he's a tory. Hope not anyway.

But yeah I'd just guess they type of visa given gives them a lot of perks over and above the normal folk but it still comes back to citizenship or resident status.
