Indefinite Leave to Remain

Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) is a form of residency in the UK that allows someone to live, work, and access certain benefits without a time limit. It indicates that the person has achieved long-term permission to stay in the country, usually after a specific period of legal residence and meeting certain criteria. ILR provides stability and is a step toward possibly applying for British citizenship. It does not automatically mean permanent citizenship but offers significant rights and security for those who qualify.
