Hi ,
I would like to ask a quick question about the 10 years long residency new rules,

from 11 April 2024 the applicant must not have been outside the UK for more than 180 days in any 12-month period.
How does it work like?

I am going to apply for ILR next year based on 10 years long residency and planning to go for holidays for 2 months.

Before April 2024 I have following absences
October 2015 - December 2015
June 2016 - july 2016
August 2018
July 2019 -August 2019

Can someone give me advice please do I have to go for 2 months holidays or better not to go ?

Before 11 April 2024, you should NOT have any continuous period of absence that is 184 days or more. If the period of absence started before 11 April 2024, then this old rule still applies.

Form 11 April 2024, you should NOT have absences of more than 184 days in ANY 365-day period in total (rolling calculation)
So for a rolling calculation, you count the number of days you have been absent in ANY 365 day period and they should not exceed 184 days in total. This only applies to the 365-day periods after 11 April 2024 !
