Hi All,

Could any one please tell me under 5 years route of spouse visa, how many days the spouse can live out of UK in a year and how many days in total in 5 Year?

Current guidance > Appendix FM 1.0a: Family Life (as a Partner or Parent): 5-Year Routes > 4.4. Indefinite leave to remain requirements, just repeats that the Immigration rules must be satisfied and adds:

The first application for ILR on the 5-year partner route will not be received until 2017. This guidance will be updated to include full guidance for ILR applications closer to that date.
