ILR absence counter
Add each trip outside the UK to see the most days absent in any rolling 12-month window, against the published 180-day continuous-residence rule.
Dates outside the UK
Most days outside the UK in any rolling 12-month window:
0 days
The published continuous-residence rule limits absences to 180 days in any rolling 12-month period. This tool counts the dates entered against that figure — it does not confirm a qualifying date or whether settlement requirements are met. 180 days is a published reference figure, not a strict cut-off; exemptions and Home Office discretion can apply. Exact day-counting and exemptions are set out on GOV.UK.

Information, not advice
This tool gives general information about the published UK immigration fees and rules — it is not advice on an individual case, and it does not decide whether anyone qualifies. Figures are summarised from GOV.UK and can change; always check the official pages before applying. For advice on a specific situation, find a regulated adviser via GOV.UK — Find an immigration adviser (the Immigration Advice Authority, formerly OISC).
