Hi

I'm currently on 5 Years route UK Spouse Visa ended Feb 2018 . My partner is a British. May I know what is absense days allowunder this visa in order for me to apply ILR. How to calculate the continous periods?

thanks

There are no set absence limits under SET(M). Only a single absence of over 180 days in the 2.5 year qualifying period needs to be declared.

See the following official guidance:
"Your application to settle here will be judged on its merits, taking into account your reasons for travel, the length of your absences, and whether you and your partner travelled and lived together while you were outside the UK"
AND
"The Immigration Rules do not say that you must have been in the UK for the entire 2 years of your visa or permission to remain"


Do bear in mind however that there are absence limits when applying for British citizenship.
