If you have Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) status in the UK, then you are eligible to apply for settlement. Settlements, which is also known as “Indefinite Leave to Remain” (ILR) or “permanent residence”, is the closest you can get to British citizenship. It grants you full passport rights, meaning you can leave and enter the UK as often as you like, with minimal restrictions.

To apply for settlement in the UK, you will first need to fulfill a residency requirement of 5 years. Once you have fulfilled the 5 year residency requirement, you can apply for settlement and, if successful, remain in the UK for an indefinite period. You can find out more information about applying for settlement on the UK government website here.
