Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about the tools and indefinite leave to remain calculators.
What is the ILR eligibility calculator?
The ILR eligibility calculator works out your earliest date to apply for indefinite leave to remain based on your visa category, UK entry date, and continuous residence period. Most visa holders must complete five years of lawful residence before they qualify for indefinite leave to remain. The calculator accounts for your specific route, shows your current progress through the qualifying period, and flags any gaps that could affect your indefinite leave to remain application.
How do I check my absence days for ILR?
To check your absence days for indefinite leave to remain, use the ILR Absence Calculator. Enter each trip you have taken outside the UK, including the departure and return dates. The calculator applies the 180-day rolling rule used to assess continuous residence for indefinite leave to remain and shows you a 12-month breakdown with a risk rating for each period. If any window exceeds 180 days, the tool highlights it so you can plan your travel accordingly before submitting your indefinite leave to remain application.
How much does an ILR application cost in 2026?
The Home Office fee for an indefinite leave to remain application in 2026 is £3,226 per person. On top of that, you may need to pay for biometric enrolment, the Immigration Health Surcharge if applicable, a priority or super priority service, and legal advice if you use a solicitor. The total cost of an indefinite leave to remain application for a family can therefore run to several thousand pounds. The UK Visa Cost Calculator on this page gives you a personalised breakdown including dependants.
What documents do I need for my ILR application?
The documents required for indefinite leave to remain depend on your visa route. Common requirements include your current and previous passports, evidence of continuous lawful residence such as payslips and P60s, an employer letter confirming your ongoing employment, your English language qualification or degree certificate, and proof of absences such as flight records. The ILR Document Checklist tool generates a personalised list for your specific visa category so you know exactly what to gather before you apply for indefinite leave to remain.
