How long can I stay outside the UK before applying for British citizenship?

Generally, to apply for naturalisation as a British citizen, you need to prove 5 years’ residence without gaps outside the UK of more than 450 days in total, and that you were not absent for more than 90 days in the last year before application.

If you are married to a British citizen, you need to prove 3 years' residence without gaps of more than 270 days in total, and again that you were not absent for more than 90 days in the final year.

I have been living in UK for last 25 years and I had to fight to get my rights to stay permit for all this years, finally last year I got my 30 months visa which I have to extend 4 times to get my ILR which will take another 10 years, last month I went back home and got married, now I can't bring my wife in UK because I am not eligible as I don't have ILR.

Can't go to see my wife often as I can't afford to pay £1200 for the flight even though if I can afford can't stay long time outside the UK if I do this I will not get my ILR after 10 years for discontinued living in UK.

Can't decide what to do should I save money for visa extension or flights or I should not be travelling to see my wife and stay here in UK for 10 years more and bring my wife after 10 years when I will be 50 year old man by that time, when can I start making my family in here UK ? I am a 39 year old man now 😢😢😢😢😢

Hi. This will be a hard question to answer I guess. My wife and I would love to move to the UK to live. But we aren't sure what vısa to apply for. We are both living in Turkey. I'm a New Zealander and my wife is Turkish. We have been married for over 4 years. If you can point us in the right direction I would be very happy. Thanks
