Business visit in ICT cool off

Post by pami53 » Thu Jul 02, 2026 7:30 pm

Hi Zimba,
Could you please help clarify my eligibility for 10-year Long Residence ILR based on the following timeline?


ICT short term
Issued on 15/4/16
30/4/2016 -15/4/2017


Multi Business visa
Issued on 22/04/17 (Customer visit)
UK stay on business visit : 7/5/17 - 6/6/2017



ICT long term
Issued on 28/7/17
30/7/2017 -

Switched to skill visa on 22/7/2022

Currently in the UK with valid leave

I left and re-entered the UK with valid permission, and total days spent outside UK in that time is 230 days, maximum stay outside was 89 days. Based on this, would my continuous residence be preserved for the 10-year ILR route?
If so, can I apply from today which is 10 years 3 month from first entry on ICT short term in April 2016, or would the business visit in the cooling off period would break 10 years continuous residence ?
Thanks so much for your help
