Time spent in ISLE OF MAN

[chllz03]

Is time spent in the Isle of Man considered towards continuous residence for UK ILR?

2017 - Tier 2 in UK
2018 - Tier 2 in UK
2019 - Tier 2 in UK
2020 - Worker Migrant in Isle of Man
2021 - Worker Migrant in Isle of Man
2022 - Tier 2/Healthcare visa in UK

Would that time spent in Isle of Man be counted as part of the 5 years?

Many thanks

From Indefinite leave to remain: calculating continuous period in UK:

For immigration purposes, ‘UK’ means Great Britain and Northern Ireland only.
It does not include the Crown dependencies of the:
• Channel Islands
• Isle of Man
Time spent in the Crown dependencies may count towards the continuous period.

Details of categories of leave that can be included can be found in the Common
Travel Area guidance. Where the applicant held leave in a category not included,
you must treat any time spent in the Crown dependencies category as an absence
from the UK.

From Common Travel Area guidance:

The Immigration Rules state the requirements for time spent in the Crown
Dependencies to be counted towards the continuous residence period for indefinite
leave to remain (ILR) in the categories covered by this guidance.
.
.
You may count time spent in the Crown Dependencies towards the 2, 3, 4 or 5 year
qualifying period (depending upon category of permission) for ILR in the UK
