Long Residence 10 Years

Long residence applications are for people who may qualify for indefinite leave to remain after 10 years of lawful and continuous residence in the UK. These applications require careful checking because gaps, incorrect dates or unexplained absences can create problems.

The Home Office reviews the applicant’s full immigration history, including previous grants of leave, in-time applications, periods of overstaying, absences and suitability issues.
