What is Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR)?
Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) is a form of permanent residency in the UK. It gives you the right to live, work, and study in the UK without time restrictions, and is often the final step before applying for British citizenship.
Holding ILR also provides freedom from visa renewal processes — but it comes with important responsibilities and eligibility conditions.
Who is Eligible for ILR?
You may be eligible to apply for ILR if:
You’ve held a UK visa that leads to settlement (e.g., work visa, spouse visa, refugee protection)
You’ve lived in the UK continuously for the required period (usually 5 years, but sometimes less)
You have not spent more than 2 years outside the UK
You can demonstrate good character and no serious criminal offences
You meet the English language and Life in the UK test requirements
⚠️ Criminal activity or long absences from the UK can lead to refusal or even cancellation of ILR.
