Long residence (10 year route) eligibilty calculations
Posted: Thu Sep 25, 2025 12:15 am
Dear Moderators,
Could you please check my visa history and let me know if I am eligible to apply for Long residence ILR in a couple of days. I am particularly concerned about if my continuous residence is broken, for the long residence qulaifying period.
Visa 1 - ICT Short term Valid from 06th July 2015 till 09th July 2016
Entered UK on 1st Aug 2015, exited on the last date 09th July 2016
Visa 2 - ICT Long term Applied on 12th Aug 2016
Valid from 22nd Aug 2016 till 01 Sep 2021
Entered UK on 5th Sep 2016
Visa 3 - Extended by 1 year (in time extension)
Visa 4 - Extended by another 2 years (in time extension)
Visa 5 - Skilled worker visa (Applied in time)
Issued on 27th Sep 2024, Valid till 1st Sep 2026
As I completed 10 years and will complete 1 year on current visa by 27th this month, am I eligible to apply for Long residence ILR?
Is the period between my 1st & 2nd visa considered as a break in lawful residence for this calculation? Kindly advise.
