Settlement Visa

Settlement is often referred to as indefinite leave to remain (ILR). It is a pivotal step and end goal for a number of foreign immigrants including international students, civil partners, spouses, skilled workers, business entrepreneurs and investors. Ultimately, it’s a pathway toward naturalization and getting full British Citizenship. In most circumstances, an individual can apply after five years of continuous residence. In some cases, this can be reduced to 2 years. Whether one can apply after 2/5 years depending on the route of immigration an applicant has taken to come to the UK. If an individual has been in the UK lawfully for a continuous 10-year period, they may also qualify under the long residence provision.
