Indefinite leave to remain if you have a business, investor or talent visa
How to apply
You must apply online.
Once you’ve started your application, you can save your form and complete it later.
When you apply, you’ll be asked which category of indefinite leave to remain you’re applying in. If you have a Tier 1 (Exceptional Talent) visa, you should use ‘Global Talent’.
You’ll be told which documents you need to provide when you apply. You might need to show that, for example:
- you meet the English language requirements and have passed the Life in the UK Test
- you meet the financial requirements, including proof of where your money came from
You’ll need to pay the fee as part of your application.
