The Apply for ILR Visa UK route is relevant to people who have lived in Britain for a qualifying period and want to settle permanently. However, eligibility is not based on residence alone. The applicable requirements depend on the immigration category through which a person has been living in the UK.

Applicants should review their previous visa history, qualifying residence and time spent outside the UK before applying. Depending on the route, they may also need to meet requirements relating to English language ability and the Life in the UK Test.

For applicants who are unsure which settlement requirements apply to their circumstances, Visa Simple handles UK immigration matters including ILR applications and offers services such as consultations, application management and full representation.

Carefully checking eligibility and preparing the relevant documents before submitting an application is particularly important where someone has changed visa categories or has a complicated immigration history.
