Hi, hoping that I can get some good advice on this. My wife Ella is in UK on a spouse visa, I am currently working here onboard a cruise ship, which is in the Mediterranean, so we are planning for her to come here for a couple of cruises. My concern is that she has already spent 25 days out of UK this year, plus we are visiting PH for a period of 41 days at the end of August. This plus a period of 20 days onboard my ship means this year alone she will be out of UK for a total of 86 days.
Am I right in thinking that the maximum period allowed out of UK without affecting her spouse visa status is 90 days?

The spouse visa expires in 2016 when we have to apply for the next step; hoping to get the Life in the UK test completed soon.

Thanks in advance for any advice.
