Permanent residency in another country on the passport

[soulfullness]

Hi All

I have a query on the permanent residency on my passport other than UK.
How it will affect my Naturalization?

What I have to fill for the one month absence from UK for that purpose?
Can you advise on this .

I did go for that trip as those days UK immigration rules were changing frequently.
Regards

The mere absence from the UK for a month is not in and of itself problematic, provided that it did not cause you to have spent more than 90 days in the past year or 450 days in the past five years (or, if you are married to or in a civil partnership with a British citizen, 270 days in the past three years).

With that said, the presence of a permanent residence visa could be somewhat problematic if you are not married to or in a civil partnership with a British citizen. This is because someone who is not the spouse or civil partner of a British citizen is required to show that:

his intentions are such that, in the event of a certificate of naturalisation as a British citizen being granted to him, his home or (if he has more than one) his principal home will be in the United Kingdom

The Home Office will look at all pages of your passport with stamps or visas. It may well notice your permanent residence visa for another country.

Do you intend to remain in the UK permanently and keep your principal home here? If so, then you may want to explain that your ties to the UK are much stronger than your ties to the other country and that your residence rights in that country are not for the purpose of ceasing to keep the UK as your principal home.

You should consult the UK Border Agency guidance on the future intentions requirement.

Hi Jules N19
Thanks of information I have no idea at all to go to other country for settlement but as the immigration rules were changing those days I thought I may not get my permanent residency in UK though I got it, I decided to go there as alternative in case something goes wrong with ILR but I am established with my own house here in UK now with my family and all the children studying here . My problem is what to mention in AN form for going to that country ? If I mention in the form for immigration purpose it will be a minus point. If I say for holidays they may not accept it? Any idea on this by anyone
regards

May I ask how you obtain permanent residence in another country by living all these years in the UK and going to that country for a month or so?

Not every country requires you to be living or to have lived in the country to acquire permanent residency. e.g. - Canada

Hi All

I applied even before coming to UK They took such a long time to process and that happened to be when I am in UK for more than 3 years after landing but before my ILR. I had no other chice but to take that at least to go there as a holiday.

I had a permenant residency of another country that I obtained AFTER coming to live in the UK (although I applied for it before relocating to the UK) and my Citizenship application went smoothly with no problems.

As a sanity check...your ILR (or PR) is already approved with the PR of the other country on your passport...so why worry? Relax.
