Duration of stay outside uk for HSMP dependent

[jazbaati99]

Is there any restiction on the number of days a HSMP dependent can stay out of UK? I know the main HSMP holder cannot stay more than 90 days out of UK in one stretch if he/she wants the time clock to be continous. Does this apply to HSMP dependent as well? i.e. if an HSMP dependent stays out of UK for more than 90 days his/her time clock resets back to zero.

As always, any help is highly appreciated.

I reckon that the same limitation applies to the dependants as well.

Does the 90 days restriction apply for dependent.

[MUGHAL]

no i dont think so.it is only on principal applicant to stay.

I too feel its for the primary applicant .. there isnt any restriction to the dependents .....

Members and Seniors please clarify on these

i think clock for ILR or citizenship may reset. But for FLR application in future. It should be fine. More experts can comment

[dokwal]

even 90 day rule is not applicable on main applicant in following cases

1. to retain employment with Brithis company"s
2.

General consensus says its not applicable to dependents. However the rate at which the rules are changin it would be better to confirm. I will drop a mail to get some response from IND.

I am guessing nobody would have been this situation and applied for ILR and Nationality. But I think similar rule must apply to work permit candidate.
