Hi team,
Please can you help me with the below query:

I am currently based in UK and planning to submit my Naturalization application for British citizenship as there has been 1 year since receipt of my ILR status. I would like to ask if I can travel out of UK during the period between the period of submission of Naturalization application and attendance of biometric appointment for the application?

We normally provide our travel history as part of our Naturalization application so any visit between submission of naturalization application and attendance of biometric appointment would not be included in my application.

Thank you in advance for this.

You can travel without it being part of declared absences - The key date is when you submit and pay, rather than the biometrics appointment.
