Hi

I need some urgent help. I came to the UK as a student 2008 (3 years graduation), 2011 then PSW self-employed(2 years) then 2013, £50,000 Entrepreneur tier 1 visa, my ten years are coming up in exactly 8 months. However, I have flown out more than 40 times of the UK but a single trip has never exceeded more than 50 days max. This was due to work and also holidays etc.

My total days are 555 days (15 days over the limit). The way I have calculated days from these 40 trips are i.e.

05/05/2015 Destination In
01/05/2015 Uk Arrival IN
4 Days


07/04/2015 Destination Arrival
02/04/2015 Uk Arrival
5 Days

12/05/2016 Destination Stamp
11/05/2016 Uk Arrival
1 Days

Is this the correct way to calculate the days since I want to apply for same day IRL instead of Tier 1 extension.

Thank you

Sorry, these are the correct dates;

01/05/2015 Destination IN
05/05/2015 UK In
4 Days

02/04/2015 Destination Arrival
07/04/2015 Uk Arrical
5 Days

11/05/2016 Destination Stamp
12/05/2016 UK arrival
1 Days

You don't count the day of departure and the date of Entry to the UK.

Absence count is WHOLE days out of the UK.

Dear CR001,

Thank you for taking the time out to reply to my post. It means a lot

So would that mean that my calculation in the examples given below is correct?

01/05/2015 Destination IN
05/05/2015 UK In
4 Days

02/04/2015 DestinatioArrivalal
07/04/2015 Uk Arrical
5 Days

11/05/2016 Destination Stamp
12/05/2016 UK arrival
1 Days

Please advise?

I think it's still wrong.

01/05/2015 Destination IN
05/05/2015 UK In

This, for example, should be 3 days (if you left on the 1st and came back on the 5th) = 3 full days.

Dear Akorotaeve,

You think or your 100% sure sir?

01/05 TO 05/05 is 3 days as advised above.

It is definitely full days only - do not count any part of the day spent in the UK, only full days out of the country. Thus your first example is an absence of 3 days, not 4.

Guys,

Thank you very much. I want to make sure that my application is watertight for the same day ILR. And, if you guys are mentioning that it is only FULL DAYS outside the UK then I might have a chance to be under 540 and it would also mean that I shouldn't travel for the next 6 months until my application is due.

So, please kindly CONFIRM in YES OR NO, if the way I am calculating below is correct or not;

20/11/2013 - UK IN (DO NOT COUNT)
19/11/2013 - Destination IN (DO NOT COUNT)
DAYS - ZERO?

15/08/2015 UK IN (DO NOT COUNT)
11/08/2015 Destination IN (DO NOT COUNT)
3 DAYS

16-June-15 UK IN (DO NOT COUNT)
02-June-15 Destination IN (DO NOT COUNT)
13 DAYS

24/10/2016 UK IN (DO NOT COUNT)
23/10/2016 Destination IN (DO NOT COUNT)
ZERO DAYS

Also, I cannot read about this law in any guidelines. Does anyone know where have they explicitly mentioned about this?

THANK YOU )

This is correct & you have been advised this above several times. I suggest you read the guidance notes before making application.
