- The standard wait for indefinite leave to remain is set to rise from five to ten years; high earners and some public-service workers can apply sooner.
- Care workers earning over £25,000 keep the five-year route; the Home Office says excluded workers will have another chance to qualify.
- New eligibility requirements are set to include a spotless criminal record, strong English, no government debt and sustained National Insurance contributions.
- The announced schedule sets a 20-year wait for small-boat arrivals who enter work and study, and 30 years for those who do neither.
“Settled status is one of the most valuable rights this country can offer. Until now it has been given almost automatically. From today, it must be earned.”— Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood, announcing changes to the rules for indefinite leave to remain in the UK.
