What Is Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR)?

ILR—also known as settlement—gives you the right to live, work, and study in the UK permanently. It’s the final step before British citizenship and access to public funds.

Common Paths to ILR

  • 5-Year Routes: Spouse, Skilled Worker, Ancestry, and similar visas.
  • Shorter Routes: Some visas like Global Talent or Innovator may qualify after 2–3 years.
  • 10-Year Long Residence: For those who have lived in the UK continuously for a decade or more.
  • Private Life or Refugee Status: Special pathways, including humanitarian grounds or private life attachments.

What You Need to Apply

  • Continuous lawful residence for the required period, with limited absences.
  • Life in the UK test and English language test (typically CEFR level B1 or equivalent).
  • Good character — no serious criminal convictions or immigration violations.
  • Proof of residency and supporting documentation tailored to your route.

Application Process Overview

  1. Apply online—typically up to 28 days before eligibility.
  2. Pay the application fee plus biometric registration.
  3. Attend a UKVCAS appointment for identity verification.
  4. Track your application; decisions can take up to 6 months or longer if complex.
  5. Once granted, ILR remains valid unless you leave the UK for 2+ consecutive years.

What If You’ve Been Away?

If you’ve spent extended time outside the UK, you might still apply—depending on your route—but must provide evidence and may face extra scrutiny. For those previously on ILR without a biometric permit, conversion to digital eVisa is required and may face procedural challenges if documentation is missing.

Do You Meet The Minimum Requirements Of The Visa Type That You Want To Apply For?
Answer The Questions Below To Get Your Results.

Are you over the age of 18?

In the UK, a legal presumption exists that entitles anyone to enter into a contract unless an exception applies. One of those exceptions is in the case of a minor. Since 1969 the age of contractual capacity for individuals has been set at 18 and reaching the age of 18 is known as attaining 'majority'. Minors are therefore those who have not attained the age of 18.
