Thank you for sharing guidance but it says living 5 years UK as tier visas. I wrote some people come after couple weeks started visa date and asked the same questions. And some adviser says ilr due date is visa date some says UK entrance date. Just I am confused. Thanks

Pls Is there anyone to clear my mind about my previous question. I can't clearly understand to ilr 5 years calculating period. Have a ecaa business person visa and there are 2 weeks period my visa started date and entry date. Which date I will be eligible?
I asked one adviser says entry date and one says visa date.

If you open the link, it clearly says under "Calculating the continuous period":

The continuous period is to be calculated to end on whichever of the following dates is most beneficial to the applicant:
• the date of application
• the date of decision
• any date up to 28 days after the date of application- this means that an
applicant may apply up to 28 days in advance of accruing their 5 year continuous period


In your case visa approval/decision date is 26/01/2016.

Thank you very much but I know I am not good at that words in guidance. İs that decision date same as my visa started dates or shown in somewhere else. Sorry for taking your time with easy questions

yes, for you visa approval/decision date is 26/01/2016.
So you can use this date for calculating your 5 year continuous period.
