- ILR is one of the most important milestones as an expatriate while living in the UK. After ILR, you are eligible to live, work and study in the UK without any restrictions. I have discussed the eligibility criteria, documents, and costs involved in the ILR application, based on my personal experience.

Thank you for this. I really needed the info
Thank you so much for your explanation ❤
This is as accurate as one can get. Thanks for the succinct information. This is just one small difference in procedure for English language eligibility if you have a bachelor's/masters degree from any applicable country including US/UK/Aus/Canada etc. All you need to do is get your degree validated for English language eligibility from ECTIS. Then, you don't have to take any tests.
Hi, Is masters in English from India valid for ILR purpose?
If yes , do we still need to get this validated from Ectis? What is Ectis BTW?
Congratulations. Thank you
Super sir . Informative ✌🏻
Really nice and informative video. I am going to apply for my IRL in next 2 years, so, I will start making the preparations from now as you mentioned. I even share your video to one of my Syrian friend who will also be eligible soon. Thank you for making this.
Hi Sir, did you have to submit p60 forms (please mention the duration of p60 forms you submitted) at the time of ILR application. Also would be appreciable if you could provide a template for absence letter from the previous employer.
I didn't submit P60 for my application.

do you need cohabitation for 5 years or a recent one is enough. Please can anyone answer this question.
Thanks for video I have question do I still need landlord agreement for house where I lived to apply for ILR please update
No need for landlord agreement for previous addresses. I only provided a utility bill for my current address.
This is loads of useful information indeed. Thanks for that. I have a question about the IELTS. You mentioned that you used the IELTS certificate from the original Tier 2 application but I guess that must have been expired after 2 years. Do they accept the expired one? TIA for the reply.
They will only accept the date expired one if you have previously used the same certificate for previous visa application.
@@SumanPaulDoc thanks for clarifying. So we can use it even if it’s expired as long as it’s the same one we used for the initial tier 2 general application.
@@rajcp123 That's right
first thank you for very paramount information, my question is can I apply for IRL the current visa will expirer 20 days before 5 years ?
yes, you are allowed to apply 20days before 5years.
Hi sir.In one of your video you said you didn't choose usmle since you couldn't afford the preparation costs back then.If you had to go back in time would you choose US or the UK pathway?And why?
I am confused which country to pursue my postgraduation.I am okay with both the countries.My only intention is to achieve financial independence at the earliest and settle early.
Most of my friends who are from a wealthy background have chosen uk over us.
Sorry I know my doubt is too silly.
But I am honestly confused between the two countries.
If possible please make a video comparing both countries.
I am not in a position to compare UK and US. I have never been to the US and have no experience with their healthcare system. The salaries in the USA is definitely much higher than in the UK. I hope to be financially free by my early 50s- I think my UK income will be sufficient for this goal.
Hi
Am a nurse . I was on maternity leave so I got only 22,000 annual income this year as I had only statutory government pay . Do I need 25000 to be eligible? Will that affect ilr?
You mentioned you also uploaded bank statement, how far back did you have to upload? The bank statement for the whole 5 years?
3months
Thanks for the information . I have some more queries regarding the documents , if you could please help ?
Please consult an immigration advisor.I don't have much knowledge about these. My application was straight forward so I could manage it.
Hello Dr Suman, very useful video. I have shared this with my friends.I am about to apply for an ILR. In the other document list they have asked for evidence of my immigration status in the UK? Do you think my visa stamp (entry level visa) + All BRP (during the 5 year period) would be fine to support my immigration status. Or do I need any other document. I look forward to your reply.
Passport -all pages including visa stamps is enough. If you have all the BRPs then provide that as well. I only had the recent BRP.
Hello sir. Very informative video. My question is whether we have to submit ilr application for kids also below 14 years of age. Or its only for adults?
It depends on where the children were born. If they will be eligible for British passport once you have ILR then you dont need to apply for them. I didnt apply for my 1 yr old daughter.
Dear, what if BRP ( ILR ) got expired last month, it was 10 years on brp?
ILR BRP are being changed to digital evisa from december 2024.You may apply for one: www.gov.uk/get-access-evisa.
Sir i m doing respiratory medicine too first year , sir in your paces exam was it regarding general med or respiratory medicine? & If general medicine how did u manage that being a respiratory doc , & lastly after competing the exam you could opt to work as a respiratory physician or both ?
MRCP/Paces is for general medicine, not respiratory medicine. In UK, respiratory is dual training with general medicine so you have to do both
Hello Suman ji,
Do we have to submit absence letters from employer? I heard from below video.
th-cam.com/video/zLCzOF97EwI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=GKTtdYx7PhdBNr3c
That absence letter is not required anymore when we apply for ILR? Please let me know . thank you
You need a letter from employer which simply states :no unauthorized leave but not the exact dates of absence. I have provided an example letter in the description box.
Hi, do you pay for IHS (Health Surcharges) while applying for ILR application?
Not required.
Is credit card bills an.evidennce of proof of address and how many years proof has to be given
Its better to choose utility bills like energy, council tax, bank statement etc. Just the recent month as address proof
Hello Suman,I have to apply for ILR in September 2023,just have a quick question im self Employed so for financial evidence what documents i have to provide except than the bank statements?
HMRC tax return documents are accepted.There is a list on the gov.uk website.
Hi If I get 5 months of no pay leave from NHS and stay out side uk…. (Less than 180 days , outside UK, on no pay leave )will it affect to ILR
It should not affect ILR if you return within 180 days.

Hii sir , hopefully you are very well.i have one doubt about utility bill ,rent,council tax.we need to submit these kind of documents,and when i came uk for student visa i have proved my english qualification with my indian degree certificate.i want to show this one for that
You need some form of address proof- utility bills, council tax bills, rental agreement are the easiest to provide. There are some alternative routes for English qualification provided in the official website. Check if they will accept your proof.I did IELTS as it was mandatory for the job.
I have a question on 180 days of living outside the uk, let's say my working visa started from April 2023 and i was outside the uk from sep 2023 till march 2024(178 days) does it mean till sep 2024 I can be outside the for only 2 days as it completes 180 days? Can you please help me to understand.
www.gov.uk/government/publications/indefinite-leave-to-remain-calculating-continuous-period-in-uk
You will find all the Information in this document.
Did you had to upload every page of the passport or just the photo page
Every page
Did you submit any documents to prove continuous 5 years residency in the UK?
Just the passport and BRP.
Sir, one doubt this is my fifth year in UK in work visa. Am planning to bring my husband here. While Iam applying for ILR status can i apply for him as well ? Or should he spend 5 years to reach ILR status? Kindly reply
He will need a 5yrs stay. But he can get ILR dependant status once you have your ILR.
Hi,
My Tier-2 General UK visa is granted on 25th March,2020 and valid until 15th April,2026(as the company agreed to extend 1 year). Unfortunately, due to covid restriction I’ve continuous absences.
Absences Calculated :
April,2026 - April,2025 --No absence expected
April,2025-April,2024 --No absence expected
April,2024-April,2023--No absence
April,2023-April,2022--No absence
April,2022-April,2021--Arrived in UK on 13Aug,2021 ,so the absences are from (12 Aug -15 April,2021) which is less than 180 days.
As ILR counted backwards, Based on this calculation, I will spend 4 years and 7months in UK. Am I still eligible for ILR?
Your feedback will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
I am not sure about this.Best to seek professional advice from a solicitor. I actually waited few months even after being eligible just to avoid this risk. Anyway your continous residence is not a problem as you have stayed within 180 days limit.
Bank statements printed online acceptable for ILR applications as part of my document?or had to be printed and stamped by bank as they charge for the stamp & print?
Online print was fine.No need for bank stamp. You have to upload all the documents rather than submitting the copy.
How many months bank statement were you required to present ?

Hi All
I need a help to get clarify on below specific scenario,
Scenario: 1
Right now I’m in skilled worker visa and my wife is in dependent visa with me for past 1 year.
Now if my wife (dependent visa holder) switch to skilled worker visa. And I switch from main applicant to dependent visa of her skilled worker visa.
What will happen to ILR (5years) clock? Will it get reset for both?
Ques 1:
Then will my wife clock towards ILR will get reset? Does she need to be again wait for another 5 years to get ILR?
Ques 2:
In case , if I switch to dependent visa of her skilled worker visa. Then will my ILR clock will get reset too?
Thanks in advance.
Your wife's clock will reset and she will need another 5years for ILR. Not sure about your visa implications.
Ok thanks and what if I switch to tier 2 dependent .Will it also reset the ILR count for me
after ILR... how long we can remain outside UK.... 2 years?
2yrs
@@SumanPaulDoc thanks...we must enter UK before 2 years to keep valid our ILR
whats the difference between CASH and CASS. heheh
Nice video sir. I have a doubt.my wife now working as nurse in tier 2 visa since 2022 october. Next year 2023 september me and childrens are planning to go in dependent visa. After 5 years when we apply for ILR , is the 180 days requirement is applicable to me if i stay 180 days more than outside uk. I heard that this law is not applicable is not applicable to spouse
To my knowledge, the 180 day rule also applies to dependant partners.
applicaple to all...
@@SumanPaulDoc hey bro i have question regarding salary and tax i am on senior carer visa in a home care company and you know in home care salary totally depends on how many hours you work my employer paying me 11 pounds per hour but on my initial 1 year cos employer mistakenly mentioned 29000 salary but he is paying me 11 per hour and its hardly touching 18000 after a year in total so will it effect on my ilr or can create any tax issues with hmrc or home office now he issues me new cos with salary bracket of 23000 per year but will pay me according to hours so on home office web i have seen that one should be paid minimum wage 10.10 or 80% of the occupation rate or current salary of the occupation so please guide me in this
Your situation is quite complex and needs professional advice. The Cos salary is slightly different from the actual take-home salary as the sponsor just provides a tentative amount. Even in my Cos, It was different from my actual salary.
Hello Sir
Thank you for vedio its really helpful
My question is if anyone having healthcare visa I mean carer and not getting 40 hours then its effect to ilr???

@@nileshrana1607 if you work Upto 80% of your hours, then no problem

Hi sir I have doubt regarding ILR application eligibility.
My wife entered on skilled worker visa 30 Nov 2022 to 30 Nov 2027 (60months)
And I have entered uk with dependent visa from 1 Feb 2022 to 30 Nov 2027(58 months)
How can i apply for ILR? With 58 months dependent visa?
You both need to complete the 5yrs stay for ILR application. She can apply once her timeline is achieved and then you can apply after 2months.
@@SumanPaulDoc thank you!
But how can I extend my visa for another 2 months?
Sir I need your help
How can I help
Have you paid nsh surcharge?
Not required for ILR.
How many days of council tax is required?
My council tax bill is sent as an annual bill, for the whole year
