Similar to the question here, Visa-free visit and re-entry to the UK, I have a similar but different question.

I am an SG passport holder, which allows me to be in the UK for 6 months.

Question 1: If I leave UK and visit somewhere (i.e. France), does the 6 months reset when I return?

E.g. I leave UK on the 100th day. I travel to France for 7 days. When I return to UK, am I left with 80 days or it resets to 180 days?

Question 2: Schengen area has a limit of 90 days per 180 days. Is there something similar in UK?

Thanks!

As I understand it, the UK has a rule that tourists may not "try to live in the UK" through successive visits, and that there is no hard formula. The border official would look at your case and decide if you are still a "visitor."

So if you feel you have to ask about "resets" there is a serious risk that a new entry will be refused.
