I have just now started looking into ILR as I have now completed 10 years legally in UK.
I have a question based on the following criteria:
Continuous residence
Continuous residence is time you’ve spent in the UK without gaps.
You can leave the UK during the continuous residence for up to:
180 days at a time
540 days in total
- Is the 180 requirement 180 days in continuation? Such that one should not spend 180 days in one trip or 180 days per year?
- I entered UK on 9/9/2010 and based on this my 10 years completed on 10/9/2020. During this time, I have been out of UK for 462 days.
What I am asking is that now that my 10 years are complete, can I now leave UK without fear of going over 540 days?
Thanks
