UK settlement tool - Settlement countdown

Planning your UK settlement is one of the most important steps on your immigration journey. Securing Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) allows you to live and work in the UK without time restrictions and is a key milestone toward British citizenship.

Our UK ILR Calculator – Settlement Countdown Tool helps you calculate the earliest date you can apply for ILR under the Home Office 28-day early application rule. Instead of second-guessing your timeline, you can plan your application with clarity and confidence.
