| Jul 7, 2020 at 22:06 | comment | added | user29788 | @MJeffryes that is true, I stretched the definition here because ultimately UKVI don't care to pursue you if you are actually already leaving - they will update their records and get you on the next entry point. And only the final manifest is the true indication of factual events - a purchased ticket is only evidence of a purchased ticket, not a willing to leave or an actual departure. | |
