疫情期间,整日在家工作,于是打算跟老板商量下回国工作一个月,算上圣诞假+年假,可以在国内待两个月。
不过,我在担心,在未来申请永居的时候,离境天数的计算可能会有问题。
我知道对于tier-2 visa有个180天 rolling period的要求。这个我是满足的。
不过,我仔细读了一下calculating continuous leave的官方文档,有这么几段话,关键的部分已加粗:
For all other categories, absences must be consistent with, or connected to, the
applicant’s sponsored or permitted employment or the permitted economic activity
being carried out in the UK - for example, business trips or short secondments.
This also includes any paid annual leave which must be assessed on a case by case
basis and should be in line with UK annual leave entitlement for settled workers. For
example, the statutory leave entitlement is 5.6 weeks’ paid holiday each year, which
for workers who work a 5 day week is 28 days’ paid leave. However, many
employers provide 25 or 30 days’ paid leave a year, plus bank holidays.
Short visits outside the UK on weekends or other non-working days are consistent
with the basis of stay and do not break the continuity of leave. You must count such
absences towards the 180 day limit.
Evidence in the form of a letter from the employer which sets out the reasons for the
absences, including annual leave, must be provided. Where short visits outside the
UK, on weekends or other non-working days have taken place, evidence from the
employer should be provided to confirm the applicant’s normal working pattern and
show the absences occurred during a non-working period.
However, time spent away from the UK for extended periods, particularly if the
business no longer exists, should not be allowed.
我想问一下,大家有没有类似的经验,处理这种长期远程离境工作的情况?
我这种远程离境工作,会不会被当作不正当离境,毕竟不是essential business trip…
大家有没有推荐的律师可以去咨询一下吗?
