Is my thinking here correct?
Let's assume someone got their residency on 23 February 2017, and they travelled overseas on a few occasions:
23 March - 30 March 2017 (7 days)
2 January - 31 January 2018 (30 days)
1 March - 30 June 2021 (90 days)
- Year 1: 29 October 2016 - 28 October 2017 (247 days as a resident, with 7 days travelled overseas: 240 days to meet the requirement)
- Year 2: 29 October 2017 - 28 October 2018 (365 days as a resident, with 30 days spent overseas: 335 days to meet the requirement)
- Year 3: 29 October 2018 - 28 October 2019 (365 days as a resident)
- Year 4: 29 October 2019 - 28 October 2020 (365 days as a resident)
- Year 5: 29 October 2020 - 28 October 2021 (365 days as a resident, with 90 days spent overseas: 275 days to meet the requirement)
This person meets the 240 days requirement on 28 October 2021 (and they also spent more than 1,350 days in the country).
I was previously thinking it was just 240 days into year 5, but I think one needs to take into account travel in year 1 if they were not a resident for the whole year?
