Continuous Residence vs Physical Presence for Naturalisation

Written by Global Immigrate consultants · Reviewed by Oscar Yip, Founder & Managing Director

Summary

Long trips can break continuity; count days by official rules.

Short answer: naturalisation often needs continuous residence and physical presence days after PR. One overly long trip can break continuity and reset the clock. Self-check against official day rules before travel.

FAQ

Country caps — US has six-month/one-year style rules.
