Citizenship application - Filling out UK absence days form

Post by Sina0711 » Fri Feb 28, 2020 12:00 pm

Hi all!
I have a questions about entering the days of my absence from the UK in the online application form. I understand that only full days outside of the UK count towards the quota (i.e. departure and arrival days don't count). But what happens in case of multi-national trips that include UK and non-UK countries?
I did a roadtrip through Ireland last year. I flew into Dublin (Republic or Ireland, non-UK) and flew out of Dublin five days later. However, there I rented a car and drove up to Belfast (Northern Ireland, UK) on day 2 and back to Dublin on day 4. But I have no proof of that because the borders are open.
As a result, my travel records look like a spent 5 days (incl. 3 full days) outside of the UK. But the reality is that the total amount of full days outside of the UK is actually 0.
How would I enter that in the application?
Thank you!

Hello

If you leave the UK today and fly to Berlin. Then tomorrow you fly back to London. That's trip won't count and is not to be entered in the form. They want to see full days only outside the UK not counting the days where you travelling out then in.

If the net total works out to 0 then no need to list it - you don't need to provide proof for each trip.
