We call on the Government to review Skilled Worker settlement rules to allow them to apply for indefinite leave to remain (ILR) after 3 years but keep “no public funds” rule during ILR.

Allow family visa holders to include time spent on a skilled worker visa for ILR
The Government plans to increase the qualifying residence period for indefinite leave to remain from 5 to 10 years for skilled worker visa holders. We believe skilled workers on 5-year visas should be able to include time spent on their current visa if they switch to a family visa & apply for ILR.
Reduce ILR qualification to 7 years for long residence visa
Reduce the qualifying period for Indefinite Leave to Remain under the long residence route from 10 years to 7 years.
Retain current ILR rules for dependants already living in the UK
Retain current ILR rules for dependants already in the UK. We believe the proposed 10 year waits and separate evaluations are unfair, risk family separation, and cause hardship. We think families who have lived here for years should progress together towards settlement.
Keep the 5-Year ILR pathway for existing ECAA visa holders
We ask the UK Government to keep the 5-year route to Indefinite Leave to Remain for former ECAA (Turkish Businessperson) visa holders. Extending it to 10 years breaks previous commitments and unfairly affects those who built lives and businesses in the UK.
Treat students without ILR as Home students after 3 years’ UK residence
Don't charge overseas fees for students who have lived in the UK over 3 years
