naturalization and traveling out of UK

[shreehari]

Hi,
I am currently holding an ilr , and I am planning to go out of UK for period of 5-6 months , then come back and apply for my naturalization.
I was wondering , is there a stay limit of how many days , i can live outside of UK in the year when i apply for naturalization ?
Also,
say if i apply for naturalization , can i travel outside the UK during the process , and are there any criteria that we need to meet , in this circumstances ?
I would highly appreciate your answer.

Thankyou !

You cant be outside of UK for more than 90 days the year before applying for Citizenship. Once you apply for naturalization, you are okay to travel but you need to be back in UK to complete your ceremony.
