ILR for Dependents in Tier 1 Enterpreneur visa

[np_7777]

Hi,

I am planning to apply for Tier 1 Enterpreneur visa and wanted to check on a possible complication in future.
I plan to apply in early 2019 and if granted visa plan to start business in April 2019 in UK. As year 1 is going to be uncertain as well as hectic, i wanted to defer moving my wife and daughter till March 2020 (though they will enter UK once and go back to India).

Would this cause complications for ILR post 5 years ? Since they would not be in UK for more than 180 days in year one, their 5 years will not complete before the expiry of my Tier 1 visa of 5 years and 4 months.

Any inputs on this will be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance

You may want to read through the information in the link below regarding the scrapping of the Tier 1 Entrepreneur route, probably in April 2019.

We are planning to apply early 2019 before the new rules. Our is a genuine case of moving a running successful business to UK. So we will go ahead with the application. But how it impacts our spouses is also an important consideration to move forward

Your dependents are permitted no more than 180 consecutive days outside the UK within the 5 year period,

If they remain outside of the UK for more than 180 days, when they re-enter the UK the 5 year qualifying period will be reset to zero.

So what happens in this scenario :-

1. I come in 2019, complete 5 years in 2024 and get ILR
2. My dependents don't spent 180 days in 2019, but start spending > 180 days from 2020 onwards. So in 2024, they are not eligible for ILR and the 5 years 4 months visa period also gets over. So they get any other extension based on my ILR to stay back OR they have no option but to leave the country.
