Disclaimer For ILR calculator

This calculator does not provide official or accurate information regarding your eligibility for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR). It is designed to give you a general idea based on the data you enter. The results may not reflect your actual eligibility status, as various individual factors and complex immigration rules may apply. For precise advice tailored to your specific situation, please consult with our qualified immigration solicitors.

ILR Calculator

What is the ILR Calculator?

To determine one’s eligibility for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) in the UK, one can use an ILR calculator. Information such as the individual’s present immigration status, duration of stay in the UK, visa category, and other relevant details are evaluated. Next, it generates a result that provides a rough estimate of the chance of successfully getting ILR.

Things to Consider Before Using the Permanent Residence Calculator

Please ensure that you fully grasp the following concepts before using a calculator to apply for ILR.

There are a variety of comparable but slightly distinct ways that this period is referred to in the official government guidance. These all mean the same thing when it comes to your ILR application:

  • Qualifying period
  • Continuous qualifying period
  • Continuous period
  • Continuous residence period
  • Continuous lawful period

A few pieces of information are required for this calculator to give you an accurate eligibility date:

  • Please specify the specific ILR route for which you are applying and the specific needs for that route.
  • For most routes, you need to have lived in the UK continuously for five years. If you are on a different route, see the section of the official UK Government guidance for Indefinite leave to remain: calculating continuous period in the UK called “Categories where the continuous period is not five years.”
  • If your continuous period is comprised of more than one grant of leave, you must keep track of the beginning and end dates of each grant. This is because most people only have one grant of leave that spans their whole continuous time.
  • The day you actually came to the UK

The tool assumes:

  • Your application is simple; for example:
    • Within any 12 months, you have not spent more than 180 complete days outside of the UK.
    • No, you aren’t applying for the Long Residence or 10-year Private Life programs.
    • You’re not applying for asylum.
  • If you would like your application to be considered for numerous leave grants issued in a continuous period, please ensure that all of those leave grants are “compatible” with the ILR route you are seeking and do not cause your ILR application to be reopened.

This is not the right tool for you if you have a complicated situation. You should talk to an OISC-registered immigration adviser who can look at your case and give you advice that is specific to your needs.

Importantly, the second issue is that there are various ILR paths, and different visas will count towards each route. For instance:

  • The ILR path for partners of British citizens or those already settled in the UK only counts leave granted when you have a Family Visa as a partner or spouse.
  • People with a Tier 2 (General) visa can only get permanent residency if they have been granted leave while they were on that visa or one of a few other work-related visas.

If a person started on a Tier 2 (General) visa and stayed there for four years before switching to a Family Visa (say, because they married a British citizen and resigned from their position with their original Tier 2 sponsor), what happens is that

  • A partner of a British citizen cannot use their four years of stay in the UK on a Tier 2 (General) visa to apply for indefinite leave to remain (ILR).
  • Once they convert their Tier 2 (General) visa to a Family Visa, the ILR clock resets and starts from zero.
  • The person can’t go through the ILR process for people with a Tier 2 (General) visa anymore because they no longer have that visa.

Understanding the ILR Calculator Results

The results of an ILR tool can help you figure out if someone is settled or not. It is important to know what each outcome means for you and your position. Here is the outcome, then:

Eligible for ILR

To be eligible for ILR, you must meet the residency requirements, which may be found on the ILR calculator. In addition, you meet all other requirements and adhere to the immigration guidelines. This involves English language skills and passing the Knowledge of Life in the UK test. This is a positive result, indicating that you may be eligible to apply for ILR and settle in the UK.

Not qualified for ILR

Let’s say the ILR calculation says you don’t qualify for ILR. So, you don’t meet the standards for living there. You can also fall short of meeting additional requirements for ILR. For this reason, they may not have met the minimum ongoing residency requirement. They can also fail the English proficiency test or not have enough money. This outcome may call for more action. That involves looking into alternative immigration options, staying in the UK in the future, and meeting the eligibility requirements.

Requirements for Eligibility

The ILR eligibility calculator might show that you’re qualified for ILR, but only under specific circumstances. In order to qualify for ILR, you must carefully understand the requirements and do what is necessary to meet them. For instance, in order to prove your eligibility, you might have to complete extra requirements.
