That would actually be 525 - 450 = 75 days to fall into that threshold.

If it's not the way to go on about this, please tell me what I can do to fix this.

Thank you!

I meant to wait 47 days plus based on what it says on freemovement.org If absences are over 540 days it is “highly unlikely that discretion would be appropriate” and you would be better off wait until your absences fall below this threshold before applying. My case seems to fit into the discretion c...

You can read that on page 17 'exceeding 180 days where the residence requirements over the full qualifying period are met - consider exercising discretion if the applicant has demonstrated that they have made the UK their home' https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploa...

That would be around 525 days I guess.

That exceeds the 480 days by 47 days.

Would it be 47 days the time that should be allowed extra? I mean on top of the year without 90 days' absence?

In other words: 365 days + 47 days?

I seem to be getting it now. I read that exceeding 180 days where the residence requirements over the full qualifying period are met I should consider exercising discretion if the applicant has demonstrated that they have made the UK their home. I have been residing in the property we bought for the...

Once again your reply is much appreciated. I calculated the days I've been absent for the last 5 years, 23/07/12 to 23/07/17 (PR issue date) and it came down to 180 days. Then after it was pretty much the following: Sao Paulo 29/06/2017 - 23/09/2017 = 86 days Amsterdam - 27/01/2018 - 30/01/2018 = 3 ...

I understand. What puzzles me is this line in which it says:"You also need a permanent residence document that proves you’ve lived in the UK for 5 years - this can be ANY 5 year period". I exceeded the 450 days on my last 5 years so this means I will have to go through the process of waiting for 5 a...

I see. But when you say wait until I meet the requirements you mean waiting another 5 years? Or would I be able to apply, say after November 2020?

So what are the avenues left for me to take?

Fellow members of this forum As a member of the EU and a permanent resident in this country, I would like your help to elucidate potential issues with my continuous residence status.
