Plan Your Next Stage withSettlement & Extension Guidance
Professional support for applicants extending permission, preparing for settlement and considering related EU Settlement Scheme or British citizenship routes.
Plan Extensions, Settlement and Longer-Term Status Carefully
Extensions and settlement applications require careful attention to current immigration status, residence history, absences, route-specific eligibility and supporting evidence. Timing can also be important, particularly where permission is close to expiry.

Settlement & Extensions FAQs
Is ILR the same as British citizenship?
No. ILR is settlement status, while British citizenship is a separate nationality process with its own eligibility requirements.
Should I apply before my current visa expires?
Applications normally need careful timing. The appropriate deadline depends on the route and individual circumstances.
Can EU Settlement Scheme and citizenship services be discussed here?
Yes. This category page also links to relevant EU Settlement Scheme and British citizenship support pages.
