Talk to a Licensed Immigration Adviser

Our calculator covers presence requirements only. If your situation involves criminal convictions, Section 49 conditions, unusual visa history, or any other complexity — a licensed adviser can assess your full eligibility and guide your application.

Important: This calculator does not assess character requirements, criminal history, or any criteria beyond physical presence days under the Citizenship Act 1977. These factors are assessed separately by DIA and can affect eligibility regardless of your presence count. If in doubt, seek professional advice before applying.
