I am a US citizen married to a Brit for many years. I had residency in the UK 1994-2000 through work (indefinite leave to remain). We have lived overseas (outside the US and UK) since then and my UK residency has expired. I own a house jointly with my spouse in the UK and pay UK taxes. I would like to reestablish residency in the UK. I think that I can do so at any time, perhaps at a cost, but with our current lifestyle I would probably be outside of the UK for 6 months each year. Is there is a requirement to be in the UK at least 9 months/yr immediately following reestablishing residency? What is the process? Can anyone advise? Thanks
