New: a free ILR absence calculator from Worldwide Immigration.
If you are applying for indefinite leave to remain, your trips abroad matter. The Immigration Rules say you must not have been outside the UK for more than 180 days in any 12-month period of your qualifying period, and for most people that means any rolling 12 months, not a calendar year.
Add your trips and the calculator shows your highest total in any 12-month window. Nothing you type is stored or sent to us; it runs in your browser.
Check your dates: https://worldwideimmigration.co.uk/ilr-absence-calculator
Close to 180, or relying on an exceptional reason for a trip? Book your free 15-minute consultation: https://worldwideimmigration.eu.cliogrow.com/book · Call 0203 488 2308 · WhatsApp 07360 271841
