Citizenship application - Filling out UK absence days form
Posted: Fri Feb 28, 2020 12:00 pm
Hi all!
I have a questions about entering the days of my absence from the UK in the online application form. I understand that only full days outside of the UK count towards the quota (i.e. departure and arrival days don't count). But what happens in case of multi-national trips that include UK and non-UK countries?
I did a roadtrip through Ireland last year. I flew into Dublin (Republic or Ireland, non-UK) and flew out of Dublin five days later. However, there I rented a car and drove up to Belfast (Northern Ireland, UK) on day 2 and back to Dublin on day 4. But I have no proof of that because the borders are open.
As a result, my travel records look like a spent 5 days (incl. 3 full days) outside of the UK. But the reality is that the total amount of full days outside of the UK is actually 0.
How would I enter that in the application?
Thank you!
