While there nothing that says you can not do this, the premise of ILR is for long stay and settlement in the UK. You may get away with it however at certain points this may get flagged and your ILR motive brought to question.Thi12345 wrote: ↑Fri Jun 24, 2022 2:24 pmHi,
I understand that ILR will become invalid when out of UK for more than 2 years continuously. So, my question, say I stay out of the UK for 1 year and 11 months, stay in uk for a week or so, and then leave again to live abroad. Is doing like this to keep ILR valid, legal and allowed?
Thanks in advance.
No. Short stays in the UK do not keep ILR alive. The Immigration Officer at the border will be able to see the history of your entries and exits from the UK and would be able to cancel your ILR on the spot at the airport.
Thanks a lot. I learnt a new thing today.secret.simon wrote: ↑Sat Jun 25, 2022 9:37 amFrom the Advanced Passenger Information that you file with the airline/sea-ferry/Eurostar, etc, when you buy a travel ticket.
That information is generally shared (and mandated) by the governments of both (or all) countries you are traveling from , to and possibly through.
Just because you do not see an exit control border counter does not mean that there are no border control checks.
