British passport- advise please

Post by Nathan2321 » Tue Sep 13, 2011 4:10 pm

I got my PR last year November 2010.

I went back home to Malaysia urgently in May 2011 and been here since then.

I been in the UK since 1999.

Can I come back to the UK in November and apply for my British passport.? and advise much appreciated.

I read on the website that I should not be out of the country for more than 90 days which I have. Is this 90 days rule true???

If yes will they acceot a proof/ reason due to my fathers ill health???

Thanks in an anticipation to you reply

Cheers

You have been out of the country for over 90 days and this will most likely disqualify your application. I was out of the country for over 90 days due to work and the lady at the NCS centre advised me to get a letter from my employee explaining why i was out and for how long etc. This i did and there was where no problems. I would advise you to write a covering letter explaining why you had to leave the country for so long and provide evidence to back this up as well.

Are your absences in the last 5 year less than 450 days? This will improve your changes.

If absences are more than 90 days in the final year before applying, this is subject to discretion. See section 5 here.
