Indefinite Leave to Remain

Indefinite leave to remain (ILR) is a visa which entitles the holder to live and work in the UK without restrictions.

 

ILR can be granted once you have lived in the UK for a certain number of years, depending on the visa you were previously granted.

 

However, you must understand that ILR is not a permanent visa. If after obtaining ILR you remain outside the UK for two or more years you will automatically lose your ILR.
