Adding to ISA when on a gap year

Hello. I have discovered that you must be a resident in the UK to add to your ISA. I am currently travelling asia, and will have been absent from the UK for 7 months upon my return. I left march 2024. I was staying in croatia before this for a year, but I did come back to the UK to visit family. I do not own a house abroad or in the UK. I am English and so are my parents. So my question is, am I ok to add money to my ISA? Am I still classed as a UK resident? Many thanks

Hi,

We cannot advise you on your residence status as this is for you to determine based on the guidance available here:

RDR3 Statutory Residence Test

Thank you.
