The eligibility criteria can vary depending on the type of visa you have but generally speaking:
- you need to have spent a minimum period of time continuously resident in the UK;
- you have to meet the English language requirement;
- you have to have passed the Life in the UK test;
- you cannot have any unspent convictions;
- you must not fall under any of the general grounds of refusal; and
- you must not have been in the UK illegally.
You should check the specific eligibility criteria for your visa type before applying. For example, if you have a Tier 2 General visa or Skilled Worker visa you need to be paid a minimum salary to be eligible for ILR. If you have any questions about the eligibility criteria for your specific visa type, we will be happy to help.
