‘Your application for permanent residence UK, otherwise known as settlement or indefinite leave to remain (ILR), is the culmination of any overseas resident’s journey in the UK. You will of course need to meet the visa route-specific requirements in order to qualify for ILR in your particular visa category, which are not discussed here. There are however a number of common rules you must (in most cases) meet in order to achieve settlement; here we highlight and discuss the most important of these.’
