90 days and 180 days - PLEASE HELP!

Ess2013 · Post by **Ess2013** » Sun Feb 10, 2013 11:41 pm

Ok, I'm a newbie and need all the help I can get!

a) How is the 90 day period calculated? I exited the UK on 10 July 2010 and re-entered the UK on 9 October 2010. How many days' absence is this? I'm unable to determine which days to count towards absence. Does the day i LEAVE the UK count as an absence? Similarly, does the day I ENTER count towards an absence? What happens if i have exceeded 90 days?

b) Are total 180 days absences allowed over a 12-month period or 180 absences allowed over a 5 year period?

Thanks.

a) - you dont count leaving day and returning day. The rule talk about whole day. its look like you got 90 days

b) I believe 180 days for entire 5 years period

Thanks, that's what I thought too but it's always best to confirm.

If someone else can also confirm this, I'd be really grateful. Thanks!

Thanks, appreciate it. For people who are new on this forum, it's difficult to navigate through the hundreds of questions and responses posted, and I suppose it's easiest to ask the question yourself. Anyway, thanks for your help.

There are FAQ sticky threads under several of the forums (E.g. ILR, British Citizenship), for the purposes of answering questions repeatedly asked, hence the reason for pointing to you to the one for ILR. Additionally the threads that have been made sticky threads, i.e. appearing at the beginning of individual forums have been made so, as they contain information which is useful for many forum members - So well worth looking at before posting to get quick answers yourself.

Additionally, you may also find the search facility on this website useful, if you haven't availed of it yet.

a. 180 days for 5 years
b. Not more than 90 days in a single trip
c. The day you leave and the day you enter doesn't count as stated above

The rules have changed months ago. Its 180 days PER year, not for the full 5 years. However, this should generally be in line with the purpose of your visa. For example, if you go to Australia to work for an Australian company for 6 months and decide to come back instead, your ILR clock is reset. If your company sends you to Australia to work for 6 months then your ILR clock is not reset.

It is not the length of a single trip, but the number of days in a year which makes a difference (Max 180 days).

So what is the total period you can stay outside UK in five years when you generally visit back home and not for the business purpose? What could be maximum length of a single trip and what is allowed period in total 5 years?

The answer to this has been provided in the response immediately prior to your post. There is no maximum length stipulated for a single trip in the updated rules. The absence threshold is no more than 180 whole days in any of the consecutive 12 month periods during your ILR residence period, counting back from the date of your application.

Additionally please

Hi

I am planning to apply for ILR but wish to know what document proof I would need to support/submit my less than 180 days absence which was mainly due to family visit/holidays. Out of total 05 years, initial 14 months were on work permit (absence 32 days) and remaining time is on Tier1 (around 130 days).

Please help.

For your absences while on a WP, provide an employer letter to confirm them. No employer letter or evidence is required for your T1G absences if they were annual leave or business related absences.

How many days one can stay outside UK each year if the absence is not in line with the purpose of visa but it is just a personal trip abroad?
