This section relates to those who have the right to live in the UK either temporarily or permanently, and illustrates the various routes available. Generally, an applicant will have to spend a set period of time (typically two to five years) meeting the criteria of their chosen immigration status in order to qualify for Indefinite Leave to Remain in the UK. Once they have completed this qualifying period, they will be entitled to remain in the UK permanently. Following one year of Indefinite Leave, the applicant may wish to apply for British Citizenship.
