Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) gives you the right to permanently live and work in the UK without restriction.
The process of applying for ILR can be complicated as there are a number of conditions that have to be met, and it’s not always clear if you are unaware of the legal process. Our experienced UK immigration team will review your situation and advise on your eligibility, guiding you through the application to minimise unnecessary delays.
Your right to receive Indefinite Leave to Remain depends on the type of visa you have and how long you have lived in the UK. Some visa categories include:
For most applicants, you will need to have lived in the UK for 5 years continuously and satisfy the other elements of the visa criteria, such as financial and salary requirements.
However, if you have a tier 1 visa (investors and entrepreneurs) it may be as short as 2-3 years. Applicants with an Innovator or Global Talent visa usually only have to wait for 3 years.
If you are granted Indefinite Leave to Remain you can live, work and study in the UK without the need to apply for a visa. You can also:
Even if you can’t apply for ILR right now, we can help you apply at a later date, or explore other options that could help you remain in the UK.
