Amount of time outside UK - family visa

[bas6782]

Hello Board,

I have a partner visa (with a Brit) and I'm currently on year 3, meaning that we renewed it after 2.5 years just 6 months ago.

Due to work and family I do travel a lot and we were wondering if there is a limit on the days I can be outside the UK especially for the indefinite leave to remain.

Many thanks

There is no absence limit for spouse visa holders.

There is no absence limit for spouse visa holders.

But wouldn't be one when we apply for the Indefinite Leave to Remain?

I've read something about the 180 days in 360 rule..

No effect on ILR.

There is NO 180 days absence limit rule. That rule applies to a completely different visa category. It is not the same rules for all visa routes, they differ.

Up till ILR you will be fine.
Consideration o your absences will be for your AN application.

Beg my ignorance, but what is AN?
