Yes to the former (if the applicant goes out of the UK for more than six months).
You will likely have to return to the UK anyway to attend the citizenship ceremony.Naturalisaton at discretion caseworker guidance wrote: (Page 34)
If the applicant is abroad or is about to go abroad for a continuous period of more than 6 months, you should normally refuse the application and advise the applicant to re-apply, on their return to the UK, for permanent residence. An exception may be made to the general rule, however, where any of the following apply:
• the applicant is undertaking voluntary work such as with the Voluntary Service Overseas (VSO)
• the applicant is undertaking studies, training or employment abroad which is necessary to pursue a UK based profession, vocation or occupation
• the absence forms part of an established pattern, such as in relation to employment at sea and the applicant is primarily based in the UK
Yes.
Yes, you can leave and re-enter, ideally before your citizenship ceremony. But a long absence can cause problems.
It can, through the Advanced Passenger Information that is filed when one leaves via a flight or Eurostar or ferries.
