ILR application process

Applying for indefinite leave to remain (ILR) involves submitting a detailed application to the UK Home Office, demonstrating that you meet eligibility criteria such as continuous residence and good character. You’ll need to complete the appropriate forms, gather supporting documents like proof of identity, residence, and employment, and pay the application fee. In some cases, you may need to attend a biometric appointment and an interview. The process can take several months. Once approved, ILR grants you permanent residence in the UK, allowing you to live, work, and access benefits without restrictions.
