I guess you meant Feb 2020 ? You can do that and get the extension. But assuming you get the extension in Oct 2022, it will expire in Oct 2024 and you would not have completed 5 years at that time. So, you would have to apply for another extension and then meet all the job creation criteria after the 2nd extension before you can apply for ILR.smartbuddy82 wrote: ↑Wed Jul 31, 2019 7:29 pmI would like to confirm if 180 day absence rule is applicable for Extension also or only at time of ILR (after 5 years)?
Ex : My Initial T1E was approved in May 2019 (valid until Sep 2022), first entry to collect BRP was in June but only for a week. So can I migrate in Feb 2019 and apply for extension in August 2022?
Will HO count 180 days from visa approval date or first entry date when I apply for extension?
Appreciate your kind advise, pls.
Thanks.
Ok. So while your extension will not be affected, you will need two extensions before you qualify for ILR if you only come back in Feb. ILR for Tier 1 closes in July 2027.smartbuddy82 wrote: ↑Thu Aug 01, 2019 4:14 am@Zimba : Thanks for the reply. Appreciate your help and time.

Yes I actually meant Feb 2020 not 2019.
I already made my initial entry in June 2019, collected BRP, got company registered, applied NIA, opened business account, etc in June and then left and was planning to move completely in Feb 2020.
Do you mean April 2025??

Extension applications for Tier 1 (Entrepreneur) migrants will remain open until
5 April 2023, and settlement applications until 5 April 2025.
Correct April 2025. I mixed it up with the deadlines for Tier 1 Graduate Entrepreneurs who switch to T1ECR001 wrote: ↑Thu Aug 01, 2019 2:35 pmDo you mean April 2025??

Not sure, why u calculate it as 2 extensions
It is no longer backwards calculation as CR001 pointed out.smartbuddy82 wrote: ↑Thu Aug 01, 2019 7:56 pmNot sure, why u calculate it as 2 extensions
Counting backwards...
Sept 2024 - Sep 2023
Sept 2023 - Sep 2022
Sept 2022 - Sep 2021
Sept 2021 - Sep 2020
Sept 2020 - Sep 2019 (- 6 months = March 2020).
So even if I migrate in Feb 2020, I would be able to complete 5 years considering max 180 days absence each other, isn't it? Am I missing something or calculating incorrectly?
Oh ok so its no more backward counting but it is calculated as ANY 12 months period. So for me, any 12 months period is counted from May (when leave to enter was granted) or June (first entry)?marcnath wrote: ↑Thu Aug 01, 2019 8:34 pm

But I should correct myself. I talked about 2nd extension based on Feb 2020 being the first entry. I should have corrected it with the first entry in June information. But yes, assuming you don't have any major absences soon after you come back in Feb 2020, you should be ok.
It is still 5 years backward from date of application. It is just not 12 month chunks but continuous period.smartbuddy82 wrote: ↑Thu Aug 01, 2019 8:55 pmOh ok so its no more backward counting but it is calculated as ANY 12 months period.

Sorry but I am a bit confused and worried now for my February 2020 planned movement.
Thanks for your guidance and patience.
