Travel outside UK for 1 month between jobs

Post by jms » Mon Jul 17, 2017 10:38 am

Hello Gurus,

I have got a new job offer from NHS firm and I am assigned a COS with start date as 01/10/2017. My current visa is valid untill 03/2019. If I apply and all goes well and get the visa for new job by 31/07/2017, I can issue a month notice period on 01/08/2017 to my current employer. Thus, my current employment end date will be 31/08/2017. So, my question here is that can I spend a month outside UK between my current job end date and start date of new job ? I knew that I will not get paid for a month. How many days, in total, am I eligible to spend outside UK between 2 jobs? like any no. of days < 60days.

Thank you.

yes you can.
the end date of employment to start date of new job should be limited to 60 days or less to get an ilr.

Hi iworker,

Thank you very much.

So, if I spend a month outside uk, what and how should I mention it in the abscence letter for ILR ?
will it be considered as unpaid annual leave ? or what else ?

Thanks again.

no need to mention it.
Its an absence for travelling, which is allowed.
