Max Num of days outside uk for tier 2 dependent ilr

Post by gskall » Mon Jul 10, 2017 9:22 pm

Hi all,

Can someone help me with the query please?
Is there any limit on number of days can a tier 2 dependent live outside uk in the 5 years span to be eligible for ILR?

Thanks.

No absence limit but obviously can't be living in home country and only visiting the UK for a couple of weeks per year and then expect to get ILR.

Hi CR001

I do appreciate your help on this web everytime.
I have the same query on this topic.
Does it mean that there is no 180 day limit of stay outside uk in 12 month period? it only applies to a main holder?

Or the rule has been changed? I have read some posts on this website and could be I would have read old ones.

Many thanks

Eddie

The 180 per 12 months is ONLY applicable to the main PBS visa holder.

HO did try change it for dependent and then scrapped and went back to the no absence limit.
