Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR)

Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) is a UK immigration status that allows a person to live and work in the UK without any time restrictions. It is typically granted after residing legally in the country for a certain period, demonstrating stable and ongoing ties. ILR provides the same rights as a British citizen in areas like work, study, and access to public services, but it does not confer UK citizenship automatically. It can be a pathway to citizenship if the individual later chooses to apply.
