Indefinite Leave to Remain (SET(O))

Applying for Indefinite Leave to Remain under SET(O) is a significant milestone, allowing you to settle in the UK without time restrictions. This route applies to a range of visa categories, including Skilled Workers, Global Talent, Innovators, and individuals qualifying under long residence.

Eligibility requirements typically include:

  • A qualifying period of lawful residence in the UK (usually 5 or 10 years, depending on the route) 
  • Continuous residence, with absences within permitted limits 
  • Meeting the relevant salary or financial requirements (where applicable) 
  • Passing the Life in the UK Test 
  • Meeting the English language requirement 
  • No breaches of immigration laws or serious criminal convictions 

Important information: 

Applications must be carefully prepared to ensure all requirements under the Immigration Rules are met. Even minor errors or gaps in evidence can result in refusal. Timing is also critical—applying too early or without meeting residence requirements can affect your outcome.

We provide comprehensive support, from assessing your eligibility to preparing a robust and well-documented application, ensuring accuracy and confidence at every stage.
