Travel between naturalisation application submission and bioemetric

Post by BenzBoy » Sun Sep 29, 2024 6:07 pm

Hi,

I have an urgent business trip scheduled for the day after I intend to submit my naturalisation application. I plan to book my biometric appointment for a few weeks later, upon my return to the country.

Is it permissible to travel AFTER submitting my naturalisation application but BEFORE my biometric appointment?

I understand that this trip, occurring after application submission, wouldn't be counted towards my permitted days of absence from the UK. This is a crucial factor as I'm very close to the 450-day absence threshold, hence the need to submit my application before my trip so that I do not go over that limit.

Travel after submission and before/after biometrics is fine. Naturalisation isn’t an immigration application. Days after the application are not countable.
Just make sure you’re back for the ceremony.
This is just my opinion as a member of this forum and does not constitute immigration advice.
Please do not send me private messages asking for advice.
