How long are you allowed to leave the country for during the year before you invalidate your visa and have to start all over again............

No guesses please. This is a genuine request.

Youi need to check with the authorities. I know that once upon a time if you wanted to get Permanent Residency and then citizenship (which was a pathway then open to all) it was imperative that you had NOT been out of the country for more than 90 days in any one year. I was not aware that it cancels your temp visa. Surely that runs to the end of the year whether you are in the country or not. the 90 days is ony for future use, but I believ enow if you want |Permanent Residency, it is now LESS than 90 days.
So best check with the authorities to get it right. I think I can guess why you are asking, but you relaly don't need to listen ot us, but get it in writing.
