Based on the information available, I can provide you with details about the rules for HMRC apprenticeships specifically.

Thank you for your question. HMRC Apprenticeship Eligibility Requirements. HMRC follows the standard UK government apprenticeship eligibility criteria, which include:

• Age requirement: You must be 16 years of age or older
• Right to work: You must have the right to work in the UK throughout the duration of your apprenticeship
• Residency: You must live in England (if applying for an apprenticeship in England)
• Educational status: You cannot be in full-time education when starting an apprenticeship

In your specific case regarding UK residency with a break, HMRC doesn't typically require continuous residency for a specific number of years to qualify for their apprenticeship positions. What matters most is your current immigration status and right to work in the UK at the time of application.
