ILR application Set (O) - question on absences

Hi forum!

I am preparing my ILR application but I am confused on one specific absence I had during 2020.
I have switched jobs in 2021 and, while employed with my previous employer, I have worked abroad and also took some annual leave during 3 months in 2020. My employer was ok with me working abroad and I am not exceeding 180 days rule in a rolling 12 months. However I am confused on what to state as reason. Also I have seen that we do not require a letter from previous employers for absences, I am guessing I would not need to provide that.

Thank you so much in advance for any help on this.
A.

You do not need to provide any reasons or letters from previous employers

Thank you so much Zimba for such a quick response.
With reasons, I was referring to the reason section where you fill in your absences with which country/which dates and reason. What would be the best to describe that longer period?

You do not need to provide any detailed reasons. Holiday/visit is enough
