Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do I need to live in the UK before applying for ILR?

It depends on your route — commonly five years, but some routes qualify after ten years of long residence, and others sooner. We check your specific timeline and absences against the rules.

Do I need to pass any tests for settlement?

Most ILR routes require passing the Life in the UK Test and meeting an English-language requirement. We confirm what applies to you and help you prepare.

Do absences from the UK affect my application?

They can. Excessive absences may break the continuous residence requirement. We review your travel history and advise before you apply.
