Clarity on number of days out of UK for ILR

[amir3993]

Hi

I'm bit confused as to how many days one can be out of the country in one year and also 5 years in total in order to quality for ILR as per the new rules announced on 13-12-2012 for both main applicant and dependant.

Please see the below link.

Amendments to clarify the absences from the UK that are allowed during the continuous residence period for settlement for Tier 1 (General), Tier 2 and pre-points based system work routes (for example work permits, self-employment and business person).

Note: I'm on Tier 1 General visa completed my 3 years.

Can someone please advise.

Thanks
Amir

The new rules allow for 180 days per annual cycle - that 900 in total.
