Thanks for all the replies. Yeah the recommendation for the immigration agent came through towards the end of last year and said she thought I should come over on a regular tourist and then apply for the RRV onshore, I would then be able to get a bridging visa whilst I was waiting. However I was slightly sceptical in what my rights to getting a job or buying a house etc would be on a bridging visa.

They got back on an RRV as it was still in date when they went back in 2016. Cheers, Josh

Was just wondering if anyone had been in the same situation as me and had some advice? Me and my family initially lived in Australia for 2 years when I was a child, however they moved back around 4 years ago and I chose to stay and remain in the uk when I was 18. I recently applied for an RRV last year but was rejected due to the amount of time I've spent out of the country. My family decided to get in touch with an immigration agent and they recommended I came over on tourist Visa and applied for a Visa whilst I was on shore, I have no close family remaining in the UK and I'm 22 years old, 23 in March. Any help would be much appreciated.
