    Presettled status - question

    Hey - I have a question in relation to Presettled status, lets say, I have it till 2024, but I will go abroad for 1 year. So I will return in 2023, still have presettled but in 2024 would not be able to apply for settles as I will not have 5 years continuous residency (there will be 1 year break) - can I extend presettled then again? How does it work? I tried to find info about it but its not covered anywhere - beside I think solution being applying for some kind of worker visa or something?

    Thanks in advance for an answers!

    Ask an immigration lawyer because few people here will have a clue

            Then I would look at an immigration forum, I’m afraid that I can’t remember the one that is occasionally mentioned here.

                and 2 seconds google found this
                You may not be eligible for settled status if during the 5 years you spent more than 6 months outside the UK in a 12-month period.

                  You are confused. I know that I may not be eligible - but whats the option? Is it extension of Pre-Settled - - No, as pre-settled was only for EU citizens and related to Brexit and there is no option to extend it - only to change to settled, so if someone has pre-settled status ,till lets say 2024 , he goes for 1.5 years, he comes back, he still has lets say 5 months of pre-settled status - BUT HE CANT APPLY FOR SETTLED as he was more then 6 months outside UK - so in this case - is only work with VISA as an option (and I think only perm jobs come with VISA?).
