Outside UK after securing ILR

Post by rengasakthi » Tue Jul 16, 2013 10:25 am

Hiya,

I have received my ILR VISA on 20/12/2012, and I got this based in Tier1(General)+ WP for 5yrs in the UK, now my question is I have a 6months to 1yr contract apportunity in UAE so just want to know if I go to UAE how likely my ILR visa will be cancellated?

I know the rule is you shouldn't be outside the UK for longer than 2yrs but want to know outside the UK for work is acceptable.

Anyone was in same situation?

You can leave for up to 2 years, however, when and if you come to naturalise you may have to wait longer due to the absence.
