What is an Indefinite Leave to Remain application?

Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) grants migrants the right to live in the UK permanently without immigration limitations. With ILR, you and your family can settle permanently in the UK, free from the need to apply for further visas to live, work, or study. For many who come to the UK to live, work, or reunite with family, ILR is the goal, marking the final step before pursuing British citizenship.

 

Criteria for ILR application

To be eligible for ILR application, you must meet eligibility requirements:

1. You have resided continuously in the UK for the necessary qualifying period.

2. You demonstrate good character.

3. You’ve successfully passed the Life in the UK test.

4. Show proficiency in English at one of these levels: A1, A2, B1, or B2.

5. Your absences from the UK during each year of the qualifying period do not exceed 180 days.

At AMT Lawyers, we offer assistance with your ILR application preparation. Our skilled Immigration Law solicitors will guide you through the process, ensuring your application meets all eligibility criteria and that you submit all necessary supporting documents accurately.
