You can technically apply for it from abroad BUT how are you going to meet any of the requirements such as housing, finance? Do you have savings in the UK over 62.5k?

Overseas income can be used if it meets the requirement AND the BC spouse has a job to start within 3 months of arriving back.

When do you plan on submitting the application then and proving you meet the financial requirement for at least 6 months?

You need 6 months pay slips and 6 months corresponding bank statements proving your salary meets the requirement.

What have you been doing in home country?

I was not very sure about tax implications and was looking to consult with accountant in UK but I am working on my own here but not through Ltd company, although I have ltd company registered in my name which I did about years ago before going to UK.

You will need to submit evidence of your self assessments and documents from HMRC.

Ok thanks, will I able to apply for discretion for my long absence from UK based on below. co
