In one of the most significant changes to the UK immigration system for decades, the government intends to introduce a new “Earned Settlement” model for Indefinite Leave to Remain applicants based on contribution, integration and compliance. Standard qualifying periods for most migrants will double from 5 to 10 years.

We will also invite contributions to our response to the consultation, due on 12 February 2026.
