The above does NOT apply to Long Residence ILR. You are reading the wrong guidance notes if you are applying via 10 years long residence.HO new guidance is confusing :
"Up until 11 January 2018, migrants applying for ILR after five years continuous residence in the UK needed to provide evidence they had less than 180 days’ absence in any consecutive 12 month period preceding the date of their application.
Under the new rules, a new formula to calculate absences has taken effect. Migrants must now not be absent from the UK for more than 180 days during any rolling 12 month spell within the qualifying period."
It is ONE continuous absence of 180 days in ONE go. It is NOT lots of short trips spread out over a period.
One single continuous absence of 180 days or more breaks continuity of residence for 10 years long residence ILR. Not sure why you are quoting LR guidance if you are asking about ILR based on 5 years residence.imme-123 wrote: ↑Thu Sep 05, 2019 4:05 pmZimba , I have shared this below from 10 year long residency guidline:
"If the applicant has been absent from the UK for more than 6 months in one period
or more than 18 months in total, the application should normally be refused."
where it says in one period: what does that mean, how they calculate this period.
Yes, you will be ok
