ILR Indefinte Leave to remain in the country (Residency permit) UK has some rules which you need to follow to obtain ILR.. like..

Out of the total 5years of contineus valid visa and working in UK..
1. You should not be out of UK for more 225days in this 5year period.. (there is a discussion that it is ok if u r on business trip n not on personal trip)
2. You shd not be out of uk more than 90days in a year
3. No for contineous 3months out of the country..
4. there are also some visa switching prohibitions like its ok to switch from Tier2 to T1 for continuity but not the other way... (pls check on this i am not sure..)

these are some...
