90 days leave in last year when applying for naturalisation

[jrs1984]

Hi,
I received my Set LR confirmation on 10th Jan 2023, so I understand I shall be eligible for applying for naturalisation on 10th Jan 2024.

My query is related to 90 days leave in preceding year (year between ILR and BC) - I have vacation to home country planned in Sep'23-Dec'23 which equates to 89 days outside the UK in one stretch. I have not counted the day of departure (morning) and arrival (evening).

Although this is a day short from 90 days allowed as per gov website, will this being so close to BC application date and that too in one stretch to current home country be causing any issue in BC application?

Thanks

No issue.
You are free to take up to 90 days in the 12 months preceding application, as per the guidance, whether in single days or the lot in one go.
