Permenant Residence

From the moment i decided to come to work in UK, thousands of people ask whether i intended to stay in UK and get the PR.
By that time, i was in a 1 yr contract and the only reason i came is to get the chance to travel, PR not PR dun even cross my mind.
Now situation is different, I was hired as a staff now and i get a reasonable pay too (according to some references provided by friends la..)
So now, people again ask whether i consider getting a PR here.....
Also a lot of my colleagues do think that the reason i came to UK is to escape from Malaysia.. (how on earth people think that i want t o ESCAPE from msia?? hornestly, i still prefer to go back msia ger wor..UK really that good meh??)
Anyway, back to the topic, PR...
Today, my colleague, a Malay girl from Malaysian who had been staying in UK for 11 yrs was shouting on the phone to the Immigration Home Office.
Her PR application was rejected bcos during her stay in UK, she was being sent to South Korea for a year of commissioning, so she was disqualify from the application.....
She then talk to me saying that I must take care of all this kind of rules..
Apparently, according to the Home Office, In order for a foreigner to apply for a UK PR, He/She must stay in UK Continously for 5 yrs with less then 3 months away from UK in total!!!
After hearing the 3months leave!!! I dun even think of applying the PR anymore cos I am sure i will exceed the 3 month limitation for sure either bcos of my holiday or of my job!
How can anybody not leaving UK for more then 3month in 5 yrs?? It is impossible to achieve that kind of limitation at all....
hihihihi, anyway, i still hold a 5 yrs work permit, dun care lar...i think 5 yrs shd be more then enough liao!
For those especially the ah beng and ah lian that are currently in Ozland, pls check carefully for the PR applciation, dun end up like the malay girl ya~!

As far as my understanding is aggregated absences of more than 180 days during the 5 year period could jeopardise the outcome of your application. (However, if you have been out of the UK for more than three months in one block you must explain why, if between 6 to 12 months in one block you must have a very good reason, such as work, and you must be able to prove this reason and show that you maintained links to the UK during this time.)

If you had any absences of greater than 90 days from the UK, in the last 12 months before you do the PR application. It will affect you.

Hopefully, this helps other as well.
