Full Residency, or Permanent Residency is properly known as “Indefinite Leave to Remain.” (I.L.R). It can be applied for in several ways depending upon the applicant’s UK Immigration Status when applying.

I.L.R. allows the holder to remain in the United Kingdom for an indefinite period,….on condition, that they intend to remain present and settled in the UK. If a person who holds the I.L.R. status then elects to leave the shores of the UK for a continuous period of two years or more, it is usually deemed by the authorities that the person is no longer present and settled in the UK. In this instance, it can result in the person losing their I.L.R. status.

The I.L.R. allows the holder to work without restriction in the UK.

It allows the holder to exit & re-enter the UK multiple times.

It allows the holder recourse to public funds.

The I.L.R. status is only relevant to the United Kingdom.
