Limits of this ILR planning result
This calculator is a planning aid, not an eligibility decision. Settlement rules differ by immigration route and may involve route-specific qualifying periods, permitted absences, transitional provisions, status changes, suitability requirements and evidence. The result cannot assess every absence, document, immigration-history issue or Home Office discretion.
For a route-specific review, see our Indefinite Leave to Remain and settlement service. Check the current official framework at GOV.UK: Indefinite Leave to Remain.
