Hi,
My spouse has skilled worker visa and I am a dependent. I came to the my home country alone, without my spouse and I will return back to the UK next month. I will have been absent from the UK for 50 days.
According the statement of following guidance; "The majority of applicants are also required to provide evidence of the absence."
https://www.gov.uk/government/publicati ... riod-in-uk
Do you know, would I need to provide any evidence for that absence as a dependent for ILR application?

There is no such requirement under the rules for dependants at all. Also, have you carefully read the guide you referenced ???? That guide does NOT apply to the skilled worker route and their dependants
This guidance tells you how to calculate the 5-year continuous lawful period in the UK requirement for applicants applying for settlement on the following routes:
• domestic workers in private households, paragraph 159G
• dependants of a Tier 1 Entrepreneur and T1 Investor, paragraph 319AA
• tier 1 (Entrepreneur), paragraph 245DF and Appendix A Table 6
• tier 1 (Investor) 245E to 245EF and Appendix A Table 9A
• retired person of independent means (paragraph 269)
The following categories are also covered by this guidance which allow accelerated
settlement:
• tier 1 (Entrepreneur) (paragraph 245DF)
• tier 1 (Investor) (paragraph 245EF)
Here is the correct guide:
