12-month rolling - 180 days' absence rule

[kumar84]

Dear Members,

Wishes for the new year!

As per the new rules for ILR (5 Year continuous period) -


The 180 days’ absence from the UK will now be calculated on a 12-month rolling basis (under the current rules absences are calculated in 12-month periods counting back from the date of the ILR application).

Can you kindly explain what does 12-month rolling basis mean?

Thanks in advance
