If the child is British Citizen, there is nothing stopping the child to come to UK after 2 years or more.

Thank you for your quick reply. What about ILR person not entering in 2 years because of COVID pandemic. There were not international flight to travel that time. What will happen if the person try to travel in 2-3 months time? Does he loose the ILR and how can he travel to uk, or does he need to apply a visa if his wife is British?

Thank you so much for your help. Just to confirm so British citizen does not need to entry uk every 2 year if they are living abroad? So they can go to uk 3–4 years time as well there will be no problem?

There is no such restriction on British Citizens to come back to UK.
