Hello, EU citizen with settled status. Will be applying for naturalisation in a couple of months. I am within the 450 days outside the UK in previous 5 years and 90 days in last year requirements. But what happens after I submit my application? Can I go over the 90 days limit…? Do I need to be aware of anything if I leave the country for like a month after applying for naturalisation..? Thanks in advance

The absence limit is relevant only to the period preceding the date of application. After that you are free to travel if you wish.

Day an application is received

Hi, I will soon apply for naturalisation. I was wondering: what is the day that the Home Office considers an application to be received? As I want t double check that I was not on holidays 5 years prior…
Is it the day in which the application is submitted online, or the day of the biometrics appointment?
Thanks!

The day application is submitted online.

Just to confirm previous post, it's the date of online submission/payment.
The biometrics appointment is not relevant for the purpose of determining the date five years back.

Tax office reference number

Hello,
I am a bit confused by this question in the AN form.
On my payslip (I am on PAYE) I only have a reference to an "Employee/Payroll No." (3 letters and 5 numbers).
In my P60 instead (alongside my employee/payroll n.) I also have an "Employer PAYE reference" (3 numbers + slash (/) + 2 letters 5 numbers).
This second number (Employer PAYE reference) does not appear in my payslip, but I think it's this one that I need to put in the form for "Tax office reference number".
Correct?
Thanks

Yes - It's the employer tax reference number shown on the P60.
