Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) – Permanent Residency in the UK
Settle in the UK with Indefinite Leave to Remain
Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) is a major step towards building a permanent life in the UK, granting you the right to live and work without restrictions. As one of the final stages before British citizenship, ILR provides stability and peace of mind, allowing you to confidently plan your future in the UK. ILR can be achieved through several routes, the most common being the Skilled Worker visa and Spouse/Partner visa routes.
Whether you’ve been contributing your skills to the UK’s workforce or building a life with a British spouse or partner, ILR offers the opportunity to settle in the UK and make it your long-term home.
