Our Work | Settlement (Indefinite Leave)

We can advise you on the quickest route to settlement (also known as indefinite leave to remain/ILR) and help you and your family with your applications.

If you have been living in the United Kingdom for five or ten years on a lawful basis, you may become eligible to apply for indefinite leave to remain. You may also be eligible to apply earlier in certain categories, for example Global Talent.

Once you have indefinite leave to remain, you will be able to live and work in the UK without applying for any further permission from the Home Office.

You may be unsure as to when you become eligible to apply for indefinite leave to remain, especially if you have spent extended time outside the UK or there have been periods when your immigration status seems unclear. Whatever your situation, we can advise you in a one-off consultation or prepare the entire application with you.

Once you are settled, you may wish to take advice on becoming a British Citizen.

We can also advise you on your eligibility to reinstate your indefinite leave as a returning resident, where it has lapsed due to a lengthy absence from the UK.
