Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) is a type of immigration status granted to non-British citizens, allowing them to live, work, and study in the UK without any time restrictions indefinitely. It is often referred to as "settlement" and is a significant step towards obtaining British citizenship.
Remember you can lose ILR/Settled status; if you lose it because you have been away from the UK for too long you may be able to get it back via Returning Resident Application, for more information read our Blog post about this here: gsnimmigration...
