Hi,

In order to qualify under 10 years long residency route to ILR, How many days can we stay away from Uk in 10 years time and in one trip how many days in a row may spend across Uk Boarder.

I am a main applicant. Does a condition of number of days spent in or out of country will apply to my Mrs who is my dependent applicant ?

Long residence application does not have provision for dependants to be included.
