Hi
I am in uk on tier 1 general. Could you please tell me is there any restriction on not leaving uk before Tier 1 extension or PR application?

Thanks

You can leave and re-enter the UK as often as you wish. However, if you are interested in applying for ILR you should endeavor, during the five year qualifying period, to restrict your leisure absence to 180 days in total with not more than 3 months in one single consecutive absence.

Thansk for your reply...

Means there no such restrictiion for tier 1 extension?

I also heared thet before the day you applying for ILR you should not leave UK for three months is that true?

No restriction on absences for an extension; only for ILR
Your second question has already been answered in my previous post. An single absence of 3 months could be problem but this applies throughout the five year period and not just in the run up to ILR, as you seem to be suggesting.
