Are you only counting WHOLE days out of the UK, ie. not counting day of departure or return?

If your numbers are correct, you don't qualify as your absence before 11th April 2024 are already 666 days out of the UK.

https://www.gov.uk/long-residence/eligibility
If you spent time abroad before 11 April 2024
There are different rules for periods of time abroad that started before 11 April 2024.

You will not have continuous residence if you were abroad for more than:

184 days in a row
548 days in total
Only periods of time abroad that started before 11 April 2024 count towards the 548 days.

I am counting dates of travel as days outside the UK. If I was to apply later on in September 2027, will I then be accepted?

Once again, thanks for your help.

You do NOT count the dates you travel (leave the UK) and arrive back in the UK. You only count WHOLE days, full 24 hour days that you are out of the UK.

Okay thank you. In that case my total will be lower but still higher than the 548 day rule.

Can I proceed confidently that if I were to remove my absence in April 2017 by applying in September 2027, that I will be accepted. There is no other blemish on my record.
