What are the eligibility requirements for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR)?

Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) forms the final stage in the UK immigration process. It allows the holder to live, work and study in the UK free from immigration restrictions, and have access to an array of UK benefits including NHS healthcare.

In order for an ILR application to be a success, the following eligibility requirements must first be satisfied:

• You must have satisfied the ILR residency requirements for your particular visa type;
• You must have passed the Life in the UK Test– this is a set of 24 questions that pertain to the culture, history and customs of the UK;
• You must not have spent more than 90 days outside the UK in any 12 months during the qualifying period;
• You must not have contravened any of the immigration rules during your time in the UK. It is also crucial that you do not hold a criminal record;
• You must have passed an accredited English language exam at minimum CEFR level B1.

Failing to fulfil the above eligibility requirements could result in the outright refusal of your ILR application. With this in mind, it is strongly advised that you seek the help of our IAA-accredited lawyers.
