What is Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR)?

Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) grants individuals the right to live and work in the UK without immigration restrictions. With ILR status, you can access public services, travel freely in and out of the UK, and eventually apply for British citizenship if eligible.

Who Can Apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain?

ILR eligibility depends on various factors, including your visa type and the duration of your stay in the UK. Common routes to ILR include:

  1. Spouse or Partner Visa: After 5 years on a family visa (as a spouse, civil partner, or unmarried partner of a British citizen or settled person).
  2. Skilled Worker Visa: After 5 years of continuous residence under the Skilled Worker category.
  3. Ancestry Visa: Commonwealth citizens with a UK ancestral connection may apply after 5 years.
  4. Long Residence: Individuals who have legally lived in the UK for 10 years can apply under the Long Residence rule.
  5. Investor or Innovator Visa Holders: Some business-related visa holders may qualify sooner depending on investment levels and business performance.
