How it’s worked out
The test runs in order. You're not resident if you spent fewer than 16 days here (46 if you weren't resident in the last 3 years), or worked full-time abroad with fewer than 91 days here. You are resident if you spent 183 days or more here, your only home was here, or you worked full-time here. Otherwise, the more UK ties you have, the fewer days it takes.
Worked example
