UK INDEFINITE LEAVE TO REMAIN VISA

The ILR visa is also known as 'settlement', and it allows the holder to stay in the UK for an indefinite period, without any restrictions on work, study or living. It also allows the holder to apply for British citizenship, provided they meet the eligibility criteria. Once you have ILR status, you will have the right to apply for benefits if you are eligible.

UK INDEFINITE LEAVE TO REMAIN VISA

Indefinite Leave to Remain, also known as the elusive "Permanent Residence" - the unicorn of the visa world! Once you've obtained ILR, you can finally breathe a sigh of relief knowing that you can stay in the UK without fear of your visa running out. You'll be free to work, study, and even claim benefits if you're eligible (but let's be honest, who wants to deal with the hassle of the benefits system?).

But wait, there's more! ILR isn't just a ticket to stay in the UK indefinitely - it's also a key that unlocks the door to British citizenship. After you've spent at least 12 months in the UK with ILR, you can apply to become a British citizen and finally join the ranks of those who love nothing more than queueing and complaining about the weather. So, if you're looking for a way to settle in the UK permanently and finally achieve your dream of calling yourself a Brit, ILR is the way to go!
