IDL eligibility - 180 days

[vik_mad]

Hi,

As we all know that we can't be out of UK for more than 180 days in 5 years term to be eligible for IDL.

However in my case I probably would cross this criteria of 180 days limit due to few business visits.
Could you please advise if the business visits are being treated as holidays as ofcourse i am out of UK.

could you please provide any template or material in the letter to ask my employer to prove to Home office that i was out of country on business. Or any specific points to be mentined on letter which is accepted by home office.

Many thanks for your help.

regards,

Thank you.

Do i need to provide this letter irrespective of my eligiblity? Or i should just ignore this if i am not over 180 days?

Thanks for letting me know.
