How long am I allowed to be outside of the UK for before I am refused entry back in? I am interested in temporarily working for my current UK sponsoring company but outside of the UK.
thanks.

Absence limits is no more than 180 days in 12 months. You will also need documentary evidence about absences for ILR.

Why do you want to work outside the UK? Your visa is specifically for working IN the UK?
