    This isn't true, there is no specified limit. Though if you spend too much time outside of the UK, especially without your partner that may cause you a problem.

    Absences are limited when it comes to citizenship.

    I guess, Am I wrong for the days (90) that you should in the UK for that lenght of month if you intended to apply ILR, but there is a limited days that you out of the country.

    I think Joe will clear it later if he read the thread, I might wrong....

    your right and wrong

    to apply for ILR, there is no set number of days you have to be in the uk for a spouse visa ( other types of visa's like work permits there is a set limit), but if you spend along time out of the uk, there is a small risk they could refuse you, because the UK is suppose to be your home.


    the 90 days figure you mentioned, is for citizenship, so if you want to apply for citizenship it does matter because..

    Residential requirements

    In order to demonstrate the residential requirements for naturalisation you need to:

    * have been resident in the United Kingdom for at least three years (this is known as the residential qualifying period); and
    * have been present in the United Kingdom three years before the date of your application; and
    * have not spent more than 270 days outside the United Kingdom during the three-year period; and
    * have not spend more than 90 days outside the United Kingdom in the last 12 months of the three-year period; and
    * have not been in breach of the immigration rules at any stage during the three-year period.


    so you can spend upto 270 days out of the uk in those 3 years, but not more than 90 in the last year of the 3 years, so you have 180 days to use over 2 years (90 days a year is what many people try to stick to) if you spend longer than that outside the uk, you might have to wait a lot longer before you can apply for citizenship.

    Yep, when I was holding a FLR, i was out for almost 9 months but they still granted my ILR..
    It's good to have money and the things that money can buy, but it's good to check up once in a while to make sure you haven't lost the things that money can't buy.

    but you will have to wait until your number of days out of the uk falls before 270 in the last 3years before you can apply for citizenship
