ILR in Great Britain

19.09.2025 10:42:07 In the UK, if you are on a Partner visa (spouse or civil partner route), you are typically eligible to apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) after completing 5 years of continuous residence in the UK. This is usually achieved through two consecutive 2.5-year visas under the 5-year route. Here’s a general outline of what you need to consider: 1. **Continuous Residence**: You must have lived in the UK continuously for at least 5 years on a Partner visa. 2. **Visa Route**: Ensure you are on the 5-year route, as there is also a 10-year route which has different requirements. 3. **Life in the UK Test**: You will need to pass this test unless exempt due to age or other factors. 4. **English Language Requirement**: You must meet the English language requirement, usually by passing an approved English language test at B1 level or higher, unless you come from an English-speaking country or have a degree taught in English. 5. **Absences from the UK**: Make sure your absences from the UK do not exceed the allowed limits, which is generally no more than 180 days outside the UK in any rolling 12-month period during those five years. 6. **Application Timing**: You can apply for ILR no more than 28 days before reaching your five-year qualifying period. Since you've been living in the UK on a Partner visa for almost two years, you'll likely need to renew your current visa once before applying for ILR, assuming you're on the standard 5-year route. Always check with official government sources or seek legal advice for personalized guidance and to ensure that there haven't been any recent changes to immigration rules that might affect your application process.

19.09.2025 12:33:12 Eligibility for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) in the UK on a Partner visa generally requires a continuous lawful residence of 5 years under this route. Since you have been in the UK for almost 2 years, you will usually need to complete a further 3 years before applying. During this period, you must continue meeting the requirements of the Partner route, including evidence of a genuine and subsisting relationship, adequate accommodation, and financial maintenance (meeting the minimum income threshold). Additionally, you must not breach immigration conditions, and absences from the UK should not exceed 180 days in any 12-month period. Closer to the time of application, you will also need to pass the Life in the UK Test and, unless exempt, an English language test. After 5 years on this route, you may apply for ILR, which provides permanent residence and removes visa restrictions.

19.09.2025 12:43:46 For applicants on a UK Partner visa, the standard route to Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) requires 5 years of continuous lawful residence under this category. Since you have lived in the UK for almost 2 years, you will normally need to complete a further 3 years before becoming eligible. Throughout this period, you must continue meeting all the conditions of your visa: maintaining a genuine and subsisting relationship with your British partner, showing adequate accommodation, and meeting the minimum income requirement of £18,600 (or higher if children are included). You must also ensure absences from the UK do not exceed 180 days in any 12-month period. At the time of applying, you will need to pass the Life in the UK Test and, unless exempt, provide evidence of English language proficiency at the required level. Only after 5 years on the Partner route can you apply for ILR, which grants settlement and removes visa restrictions.
