How to get UK ILR?

You can get ILR (Indefinite Leave to Remain) if you live in the UK for five continuous years. The residency requirements may, however, vary depending on your UK visa type. The ILR offers permanent residency options for individuals who have proven their commitment to the country. With an ILR in the UK, you can live, study, and work for as long as you want without any limitations, visa renewals, or extensions. You can get an ILR through selective UK work visas, family visas, long residence routes, type of nationality, and other UK settlement routes.
