Dear Sir/Madam
I have a few questions regarding my long residence application. Here I outline everything happened in past 10 years. Could anyone let me know if I had any gaps? If I have met the requirement of continually residency?
1st Visa (Entry clearance, language school)

6th Visa (PhD study, Liverpool John Moores University)
Date of issue: 26/12/2014

• I met 10 years lawful residence requirements on 03/07/2018.
What I m not sure is, during my 4th visa and my 5th visa. did I break the continues residency because I didn't apply for a fresh visa within 28 days? Also does tourist visa count towards 10 years?
Thank you very much for your help !!
