You may apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) as a Tier 1 Entrepreneur Dependant up to 28 days before completing five years in the UK under this visa category, provided that the main applicant is either applying for ILR or has already secured ILR as a Tier 1 Entrepreneur Migrant. However, certain Points-Based System (PBS) dependants may not qualify for ILR simultaneously with the main applicant due to not fulfilling the five-year residency requirement. In such cases, they must apply for ILR separately after the main applicant has been granted ILR. If the main applicant has already obtained ILR, dependants can apply through the Super Priority Service to receive a decision within 24 hours.

Eligibility Criteria for ILR as a Tier 1 Entrepreneur Dependant

Dependants of Tier 1 Entrepreneur migrants seeking Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) in the UK must fulfill specific eligibility requirements. To qualify, you must meet the following criteria:

• Your sponsor, the Tier 1 Entrepreneur, must have already secured ILR or must be applying for ILR at the same time as you.
• You must have lawfully resided in the UK for a continuous period of five years under a dependant visa. ILR applications can be submitted up to 28 days before completing the five-year residency requirement.

Residency Requirements and Absence Restrictions

Applicants seeking ILR as a dependant partner of a Tier 1 Entrepreneur must maintain continuous residence in accordance with Appendix Continuous Residence. This means:

• You must not have been absent from the UK for more than 180 days in any 12-month period during your qualifying leave, as per the Immigration Rules effective from 11 January 2018.
• Any absences accrued before 11 January 2018 under the previous Immigration Rules will not be counted when assessing your continuous residence for ILR eligibility.
