ILR Renew

[sorrels_mo]

Hi,

I currently hold Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) obtained through the Tier 2 route, and my current Biometric Residence Permit (BRP) is valid until December 2024. I understand that after this date, all documents may be digital.

My question is whether I would need to renew my ILR after a certain period of time, such as 5 or 10 years, if I choose not to apply for citizenship but wish to remain in the UK based on my ILR status.

Thanks

If you continue to live in the uk, you do not renew ILR. It is an Indefinite status. You only lose it if you leave the uk for 2 or more years.

As Char pointed out, ILR status is permanent and does not expire so the BRP expiry card has no bearing on your ILR status. BRP currently is simply used to SHOW/PROVE your status when required. A new digital proof of status system will be introduced very likely from early 2024. After the end of 2024, that system will be used to SHOW/PROVE your status instead of a BRP. You do not need to take any action at all.

Thank you for clarifying.

Much appreciated
