New Rule: 180 days. Do Tier 1 Generals need to submit proof?

[Ariadna]

Hi all, there's a lot of speculation around the following question:

Now with the new 180 days/ in 12 months permitted outside UK, it seems unclear whether or not those on Tier 1 general will have to submit evidence of reasons why they've been outside the UK, even it it doesn't exceed 180 days a year. Or do they not have to submit any evidence?

I am self-employed and i travel, a lot a lot a lot, so i'm struggling to think what sort of evidence i can prove for my leave - but it doesn't exceed 180 days a year.

Any help would be great!

T1G Applicants are not required to submit an employer letter to confirm their annual leave or business related absences. If you however have absences due to serious or compelling compassionate reasons then you will need to submit a personal letter and evidence to support them.
