Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR)

A considered route to your next chapter in the United Kingdom

← Back to United Kingdom

Living in the UK for a set number of years does not automatically grant ILR; absences and route-specific rules matter.

Eligibility

What to review

  • A route that qualifies for settlement
  • The applicable residence period and continuity requirements
  • Immigration compliance and route-specific criteria
  • English and Life in the UK requirements where applicable
Pathway

Key considerations

  • ILR normally removes the ordinary time limit attached to a temporary visa.
  • Different routes have different qualifying periods.
  • Naturalisation can be a separate later step for eligible applicants.
