Long Residence ILR Route - Significant Changes
Monday 13th May 2024
❗ Since April 11, 2024, a new Appendix to the Immigration Rules, Appendix Long Residence, has reshaped the 10-year Long Residence indefinite leave to remain route.
👉 These changes include a requirement for 12 months' current permission, adjustments to the qualifying period, continuous residence requirements, and knowledge of English and Life in the UK.
✔️ While easing settlement for some, particularly students with high absences, they disadvantage those relying on periods of residence, especially EU citizens.
Understanding these shifts is crucial for Long Residence ILR applications.
