About the App
DayBank UK helps UK visa holders monitor their time spent in and outside the United Kingdom. The app calculates your absence days, tracks your remaining travel budget, and helps you stay on course for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) and British Citizenship applications. All data is stored privately on your device.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is my data stored?
All your data is stored locally on your device. DayBank UK does not use accounts, servers, cloud sync, or analytics. Your information never leaves your phone. If you delete the app, your data is permanently removed.
How do I reset my data?
To reset all data, go to Settings within the app and look for the data management options. You can delete individual absences by swiping left on them in the history view, or reset all data from the settings screen. Please note that deleted data cannot be recovered.
How are absence days calculated?
DayBank UK follows Home Office guidance: the day you depart the UK and the day you return are not counted as days of absence. Only full days spent outside the UK are counted. For example, if you leave on 1 January and return on 5 January, that counts as 3 full days absent (2nd, 3rd, and 4th).
What is the 180-day travel budget?
To qualify for ILR, you generally must not spend more than 180 days outside the UK in any 12-month qualifying period. DayBank UK tracks your absences against this budget so you can plan your travel accordingly. Certain exemptions may apply for humanitarian reasons.
Is this app official Home Office guidance?
No. DayBank UK is an independent tool designed to help you track and plan your absences. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to the UK Home Office. Always consult official Home Office guidance or an immigration adviser for decisions about your visa status.
Can I export my absence records?
Yes. DayBank UK can generate a CSV export of your absence history formatted for ILR (SET(O)) and Citizenship (Form AN) applications. You can find this feature in Settings under Data Management.
