How are exit dates tracked by UK immigration?
Upvote:0
From what I can see in my own UK entry/exit record, border crossings are only recorded when done by air (through API).
I've also been told it's done when exiting by rail or sea to outside the CTA (through TDI), but I don't know for myself - entries are definitely not recorded by rail or sea.
If you absolutely cannot leave within 2 weeks (and then re-enter), catch a ferry to Guernsey or Jersey and take a connecting ferry to France from there, as exits from the CTA won't be recorded at the Jersey ferry terminals.
However, a strict UK officer could well ask you for proof of exit on re-entry if no records are available, so again, I'd not recommend you to stay for longer than 2 weeks.
The best thing to do would be getting an official written confirmation of the extension from your company, then channel hop to France (for example by bus) and then re-enter with the new documentation.

Dates are tracked since April 2015 using API and TDI information provided by various sources.
As part of legislation introduced through the Immigration Act 2014, carriers and port operators in the aviation, maritime and international rail industries were given the power to carry out embarkation checks. Since 8 April 2015 departure data has been collected on all scheduled commercial services departing the UK from air and sea ports and from international rail stations except those services not within the scope of the exit checks programme.
The analysis in the report focuses on individuals who had both valid leave and were identified as having entered the UK after April 2015, when the exit checks programme was introduced.
If it's not written in your passport and you still have valid leave, it is unlikely to cause a problem in the future. However, I am not sure if first line immigration officers make any notes when you pass through.
