90 day absent rule - can I do 2x 90 with a short return?

aussielaowai · Post by **aussielaowai** » Tue Sep 08, 2009 11:07 pm

Hi guys

I just wanted your opinion on this. I really want to be out of uk for 1 semester to complete a course but need 15 weeks. If I was away 90 days then returned for say a week or so then away for another 4 weeks would it be ok, provided I stayed within the total of 225 (45 per year on average) over 5 years? Just wondering if such a plan would make my calculator for ilr reset and need to start the 5 yr countdown again?

Thanks and best wishes

Though the total days out of Uk in 5years rule is 225days.. but still there is some discussions that in a year u shd not be out more than 90days (unless if there are some days in this which are business related trip) so u need to look into that aswell when u plan ur break time within the 15weeks course time..

Guys,

Apologies for my ignorance but i was under the impression that for ILR you are allowed out of country 90 days in a stretch and 180 days in total 5 years??

can you please post the link where it says 225 days out of country in 5 years??

Yes I see, but I am wondering if it is 90 days in calendar year, or from start of visa or is it in any 12 month period?

Just hoping someone might have had this experien e before?

Thanks

your ILR counter will reset and will start from the day you land back in UK.

I donno how u will be able to prove it as business trip when u are going for study purpose..

i think flight tickets along with letter from the company stating that you are on business trip with the related business schedules/trip details should do...

Dear nksg,

Can you please let me know where you have seen this that we can not be away more than 90 days? Any reference from the UKBA?

Regards,
Mah
