Hello

Unfortunatly i was on Holiday for more than 3 months (that is 105 days) simply i am nor aware about any things

But my total span in 5years outside uk is less then 6 months.

Please advice me what is the best solutions.

Send in your application by post with a covering letter explaining the reasons for your extended absence and you should hopefully be ok. This issue has been discussed ad nauseum on this forum in the past so have a trawl through the forum and you might find more useful info..

Hi

Thanks for quick response, i was searching this kind of link i cant find.

So what is my situation if they say NO, what is my next option. But they havent stamp outgoing stamp date on my passport as well offcourse entry is there.( Do they keep in/out on their system ? )

I dont want to take risk bcoz i am well settled here with all ...

Cheers

Just apply in person and if it fails then send it by post...

U have nothing to lose when applying by person as you don't pay the fees upfront...

I think you will be okay if you got all your papers in order

I strongly advise that you don't apply in person, as they will often take the fees and then refuse.

Being on holiday is not a good enough excuse for being out of the UK for more than the allotted time period. A covering letter is not going to help!

You need a good reason, like a death in the family, sickness, ill-health, or business travel, or some other non-recreational, unavoidable reason. And even then it is still at the discretion of the case worker.
