No. The 90 days is the total absence in the last 12 months.

Please read this page:

- You didn't use for your indefinite leave to remain
- It has been passed more than 2 years ago

It expired and you have to pass it again.

Hi there i need some help please i print the AN form for the application but decided to do online application. Do i need to print the referee from out again once i submit the application or i can you the page from pre print AN form.
One more question is when i fill the online form do i need to submit it straight away or i can take one two days to submit. Please help

[zimba]

DO NOT start new posts for each question. Ask all your questions here in one thread !!
You MUST only apply online. You can save your application and come back to it again. Use the referee page you already printed it is the same

[sanabibi123]

Thank you one more question is do i have to fill the referee detail online or i just fill the details on pre print referee page and ask them to sign it.
As i would be able to get their email and other details before hand.

If you continue to complete the online application you will see that it will ask you to fill in your referees' details i.e. full name, address, occupation and British passport number. You can only do this online as the declaration form will not have this option.

[sanabibi123]

Hi reason im asking as i can't get the referee detailed before hand to fill it online. It has to be pre print referee form. Will that be ok
I dont to be stock online application. Please help

Do i need to print this form out. Im really confused

[CR001]

Clearly as it is a MS Word document.

Note also that the link I provided does not ask for the standard inform referees need to provide in the online form.

[sanabibi123]

Thank you

[sanabibi123]

Hi there my both referees fill the page but they wrote on the form they know me as family friend, Would that be ok.

Your citizenship will only be granted in the name on your foreign passport. If your passport is in your birth name, then that is what your certificate will be in.
