Long Residence, Settlement and British Citizenship
Long residence and Private Life applications involve different requirements. We assess your immigration history before recommending the appropriate route.
10-year lawful Long Residence
This route may lead to Indefinite Leave to Remain after ten years of qualifying continuous lawful residence, subject to the other requirements. Not every type of permission counts, and absences and gaps must be checked carefully.
20-year Private Life
Adults who meet the 20-year continuous residence requirement may qualify for permission under Appendix Private Life. Time with or without immigration permission can count. A successful initial application normally gives limited permission rather than immediate settlement.
Very significant obstacles to integration
Adults who do not meet the 20-year residence requirement may have a different Private Life basis where there would be very significant obstacles to integration in the country of return. This is a demanding, evidence-led assessment.
We help clients reconstruct residence histories, explain absences and obtain evidence. Read our guide to 20-year Private Life and long-residence applications by Alvyn Kee（纪律师）, Solicitor.
Our wider work includes settlement, British citizenship, naturalisation, registration and first British passports.
British citizenship and naturalisation
We assess your residence history, immigration status, absences and suitability before advising on naturalisation or registration. Settlement and British citizenship are separate applications. Read our detailed guidance on British citizenship, naturalisation and registration.
Hong Kong BN(O) applications
We advise on extensions, settlement and complex absences. Read our anonymised BN(O) family case study involving serious illness and extended absences.
Preparing an application and responding to refusal
Read our guide to avoiding common immigration application problems. If you have received a refusal, seek advice promptly because challenge deadlines can be short.
