Absence from UK Rules for ILR

Post by manch221 » Thu Aug 07, 2014 1:11 pm

Hi all

Could anyone please guide me with regard to the absence from the UK during 5 years of continuous residence on Tier 1 (General)

I would be applying for ILR soon. I have been out of the country for 316 days during the 5 year period. Is it something to worry about? What are the rules?

Thanks in advance for help

So long as in each 12 month period, absences did not exceed 180 days, no it won't break continuous residence.
