Frequently asked questions
How long after ILR can I apply?
Most applicants need to have held ILR for 12 months. If you are married to a British citizen, you may be able to apply as soon as you receive ILR.
Will a past refusal or a minor offence affect me?
It may, depending on the details. Tell us everything at the start so we can give you an honest assessment.
How many days can I spend outside the UK?
The standard limit is 450 days in the five-year qualifying period and 90 days in the final year. Some excess absences can be overlooked in certain circumstances.
Do I need to give up my current nationality?
The UK allows dual nationality, but your other country may not. Check the rules of your current country before applying.
