Please refer to and you will have to make your own decision if, in your scenario it is classed as 2 or 3 days.

Thank you.

Hi Doris Fong,
If applying for split year treatment, yes you need to complete a tax return as this is done on the residence section SA109.
You only show any foreign income received in the UK part of the year and it must be converted to sterling.
Foreign income should be shown on the SA106.
Thank yiu.
