Citizenship requirements
⚠️ Core Protection — rules may change
Currently ILR is available after ~5 years of total status (as before), but status is granted for 30 months with renewal, not 5 years at once. The government has announced a 20-year base path, but it has not yet been added to Immigration Rules. The situation may change. Follow updates on the reform page.
Disclaimer: The calculator shows an approximate earliest date under ideal conditions. Actual timelines depend on many factors. This is not legal advice.
