Hi everyone,
This is probably a common question, but I haven't been able to get clarity on it after a few hours of researching the home office site/guidelines and this forum.
I'm on UK-Ancestry and want to apply for ILR after I reach the 5year qualifying period. Three questions:
1. How many days am I allowed outside of the UK in the 5 year qualifying period total?
2. How many days am I allowed outside of the UK in the last 12 months of the qualifying period?
3. Is time spent outside the UK on business trips counted or exempt?
Some of the forum posts reference a 180/90 rule: no more than 180 days over the 5year period, and no more than 90 days in the final 12months. But I cannot see that referenced anywhere on the HO site or in their SET (O) guidelines. Does anyone have an idea where that is referenced?
An interesting perspective on this site: http://firstmigration.com/visas/uk/inde ... remain-ilr
Anything more concrete/official would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
