Re: How many days can we leave the uk with Spouse Visa?

Same principle for spouses of British citizens (90 days per year on average, no more than 90 days in the last 12 months) but only the previous three years are taken into consideration.

Re: How many days can we leave the uk with Spouse Visa?

I was referring to citizenship, not ILR.

For ILR there’s no hard limit for spouse visa holders like there is for work visas but you’ll still be expected to spend the majority of your time in the...

Re: How many days can we leave the uk with Spouse Visa?

It’s 90 days per year on average (450 days over five years) and no more than 90 days in the final year when applying to naturalise as a British citizen. These are not the same requirements as for ILR...

Re: How many days can we leave the uk with Spouse Visa?

It’s unlikely to affect her application for FLR but it’ll probably prevent her from applying for ILR after five years and so she’ll need to apply for FLR again.

Re: How many days can we leave the uk with Spouse Visa?

Spending 18 months outside the UK in one go will certainly prevent her from qualifying for ILR after five years. You’ll need to extend her spouse visa for a second time and remain on that until such...

Re: How many days can we leave the uk with Spouse Visa?

Providing you re-enter the UK whilst your current BRP is still valid then you can remain in the UK until it expires. You can also apply for Further Leave to Remain from within the UK shortly before...

Re: How many days can we leave the uk with Spouse Visa?

Broadly speaking you are correct. Bear in mind however that while there is no hard limit on absences from the UK for the holder of a spouse visa there is a requirement to intend to live in the UK on...

Re: How many days can we leave the uk with Spouse Visa?

There’s no requirement to live together for 2.5 years. If you were unmarried you need to provide evidence that you had been living together in a relationship akin to marriage for at least two years...

Re: How many days can we leave the uk with Spouse Visa?

Unfortunately this is what happens when you do things that are not expected. Having being granted a spouse visa the presumption is that at least one of you has been living in the UK. Personally I...

Re: How many days can we leave the uk with Spouse Visa?

If you’re in the UK then FLR will be the only option. To start again by applying for another spouse visa would require your wife to make the application from the Philippines as before. I personally...

Re: How many days can we leave the uk with Spouse Visa?

Your wife can return to the UK at any time whilst her visa is still valid. There is no 180 day rule for spouse visas but spending the majority of your time outside the UK can cause problems with...

Re: How many days can we leave the uk with Spouse Visa?

That's not correct. You only need to spend your majority of your time in the UK during the five years you hold a spouse visa before you can apply for ILR. Your friend would not have been switched to...

Re: How many days can we leave the uk with Spouse Visa?

You also wouldn’t be in the UK to renew your visa this time next year. It wouldn’t be advisable to take the job therefore if you wish to gain ILR in the same timeframe as your husband.

Re: How many days can we leave the uk with Spouse Visa?

So your husband will remain in the UK to work but you’ll take a job overseas?

Re: How many days can we leave the uk with Spouse Visa?

A spouse visa and a Tier 2 visa are not the same thing. Are you saying you’re a dependent on your husband’s Tier 2 visa?

Re: How many days can we leave the uk with Spouse Visa?

I think you've answered your own question with the text you quoted. You need to complete 60 months in the UK on a spouse visa and you can apply up to 28 days in advance of this. So, for instance, if...

Re: How many days can we leave the uk with Spouse Visa?

As mentioned in this thread there is no fixed period your wife will need to be in the UK if she holds a spouse visa. It is a good idea however to ensure that she is spending the majority of her time...

Re: How many days can we leave the uk with Spouse Visa?

That's difficult to predict. I would apply for ILR as normal, state that you were out of the country together to attend to your parents-in-law due to their ill health and see what happens. You may...

Re: How many days can we leave the uk with Spouse Visa?

Spouse visas don't come with a fixed number of days that you need to reside in the UK. Generally speaking you should be spending more time in the UK than outside the UK. You should also be living...

Re: How many days can we leave the uk with Spouse Visa?

Each spouse visa is valid for 2.5 years (30 months). You'll also be granted an additional three months if you applied from outside the UK (33 months). As mentioned there is no fixed time limit for...
