Conditions of Indefinite Leave to Remain (EEA Family Permit Requirements)

Conditions of Indefinite Leave to Remain (EEA Family Permit Requirements)

Many UK immigration categories offer the option of Indefinite Leave to Remain, also known as Permanent Residency to non UK citizens. This enables non UK applicants to live and work in the country for an indefinite period of time without any immigration restrictions. Eligibility Criteria Permanent Residence in the UK is granted only to those individuals who have lived in the UK for a required number of years under their respective visa category which leads to settlement. There are a few conditions which an applicant has to follow:

Not remained outside the UK for more than 2 years whilst on their visa (This does not apply to British Overseas Citizens and British Protected Persons). Not undertaken any activities that would be regarded as a criminal offence.

Occurrence of any of the above conditions can lead to loss of Indefinite Leave to Remain status, so it is crucial that all conditions are adhered to by the applicant.
