Thanks for your quick reply. I have a further question. My absence of more than 90 days was when I was under the HSMP. I was not working during the 93 days, because I was waiting for my job in the UK to start. Do you have an idea of whether I need to be employed during the time I was away? I didn't ...

You do not need a 2nd extension... Thank you for your quick response. Why do you say that I don't need a 2nd extension? I thought the rules are each visit outside of the UK must not be more than 3 months, otherwise the 5 years continuous residence is broken. I could be wrong, and this is the point ...
