Thank you!
Just checked residence requirements guidance
Residence requirements: section 6(1)
The residence requirements which someone applying under section 6(1) of the
British Nationality Act 1981 are that the applicant was:
• in the UK at the beginning of the period of 5 years ending with the date of the
application
• not absent from the UK for more than either:
o 450 days in that 5 year period
o 90 days in the period of 12 months ending with the date of application
• not, on the date of application, subject under the immigration laws to any
restriction on the period of stay in the UK
• not, at any other time in the 12 month period ending with date of application,
subject under the immigration laws to any restriction on their period of stay in
the UK
• not at any time in the period of 5 years ending with the date of application, in
the UK in breach of the immigration laws
There is discretion to waive the residence requirements except that the applicant
must:
• have been in the UK at the beginning of the 5 year period, unless their absence
was due to serving in HM forces
• be free from time restrictions under immigration law at the time of their
application
Does that means we should not exceed 450 days absence until Naturalisation and this 90 day limit is in 12 months period before Naturalisation which means straight after ILR if we wish to apply Naturalisation after 12 months. Am I right ?
