Student visa and ILR

Post by marymaar » Wed Oct 21, 2009 5:58 pm

Please can someone kindly let me know if student visa counts towards the (5 year period required for applying for) Indefinite leave to remain in the UK?

Many thanks.

I think you need to have been on student visa for a minimum of 10 years to be able to apply for indefinite leave.
