Time allowed outside UK on 5 year route?
Posted: Tue Jan 15, 2019 12:55 pm
Hi all,
My Japanese partner will be applying for her ILR at the end of 2019. We're planning to have a holiday to Japan this spring and she would like to stay for a while - may around 2 months.
I just wanted to check if there are any limits or recommendations on how long not to stay outside the UK?
I don't want to mess up our chances to secure her ILR now that we're so close. I understand when you do have an ILR visa you can stay outside the UK for a maximum of 2 years but I'm not sure what the limit (if any) is whilst in the second 2.5 year visa.
Thanks,
