If you're living in the UK and considering your long-term immigration status, you may be wondering if you can apply for permanent residence, also known as indefinite leave to remain (ILR).
ILR allows you to live and work in the UK without any immigration restrictions. In this article, we'll explore the eligibility criteria and application process for ILR.
To apply for ILR, you generally need to have lived in the UK for a certain continuous period and have a valid visa in a qualifying category.
For example, under the Tier 2 (General) visa category, you can apply for ILR after living in the UK for five continuous years with a valid Tier 2 visa.
In addition to meeting the residency requirement, you may also need to meet other requirements, such as passing the Life in the UK test, demonstrating English language proficiency, and not breaching any immigration laws during your stay.
The application process for ILR involves completing an application form, providing supporting documents, and attending a biometric appointment.
It's important to ensure that your application is accurate and complete to avoid any delays or issues.
Once you are granted ILR, you can live and work in the UK without any immigration restrictions.
You may also be eligible to apply for British citizenship after holding ILR for a certain period.
