Indefinite Leave to Remain application

Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) is a form of permanent residency in the UK. It allows an individual to live, work, and access certain benefits without time restrictions. To apply, a person usually needs to demonstrate a continuous period of lawful residence, meet good character requirements, and show they can support themselves financially. ILR is a key step towards British citizenship and provides security of stay, independence from visa restrictions, and the ability to settle long-term in the UK. The application process involves submitting supporting documents and paying a fee, after which the Home Office assesses eligibility.
