Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR)

Secure permanent residency in the UK with expert legal guidance.

Who This Is For

This route is for individuals who have lawfully lived in the UK for a qualifying period and now wish to make the UK their permanent home. ILR removes time limits on your stay and is often the final step before British citizenship.

What We Help With

• ILR applications under the 5-year routes(e.g. work, family, private life)

• 10-year long residence applications based on continuous lawful stay

• Accelerated ILR(e.g. Global Talent or Innovator Founder routes)

• Applications involving complex immigration histories or past refusals

• Review of absences, documents, and eligibility before applying

Key Requirements

To qualify for ILR, you must generally:

✅ Have completed the required qualifying period (5 or 10 years)
✅ Have continuous lawful residence, with limited absences from the UK
✅ Pass the Life in the UK Test
✅ Prove English language proficiency(e.g. B1 CEFR level or higher)
✅ Not have serious criminal convictions or recent immigration breaches

Benefits of ILR

With ILR, you can:

• Live and work in the UK without time restrictions

• Access public funds(where eligible)

• Apply for British citizenship after 12 months (or immediately if married to a British citizen)

• Travel freely in and out of the UK
