GET A PERMANENT PERMIT TO RESIDE IN THE UK

Do you want to settle in the UK?

With great healthcare, world-class education, and lots of art, history, and culture, it’s an excellent place to call home. The UK is very multicultural. In fact, about 14% of the population in the UK was born abroad, according to the Migration Observatory at the University of Oxford. About 35% of the immigrant population lives in London.

How to apply for permanent residence

Permanent residence in the UK is also known as Indefinite Leave To Remain (ILR). With this, you can live and work in the UK permanently. You may also be able to apply for British citizenship after 12 months.

There are different ways to apply to live permanently in the UK, depending on your situation. For example, you might be able to apply for ILR if:

You’ve lived in the UK for 5 years or more

If you have lived in the UK for 5 or more years, you should be able to apply for permanent residence in the UK. There are exceptions, though. For example, you won’t be able to apply for ILR if you’ve lived in the UK on a Tier 2 ICT work visa – given to people who’ve transferred to a UK company branch from abroad to work on a specific project.

You’re a family member of a UK citizen or permanent resident

If you’re the spouse, parent, or dependent relative to a UK citizen or permanent resident, you might also be eligible for ILR. Depending on the type of visa you’ve been living in the UK on, you might be able to apply for permanent residence as soon as 2 years.

You have a work visa

You can apply for ILR if you’ve had a Tier 2 (General) work visa for five years. Your employer will need to sponsor you. You’ll also likely have to prove you earn at least £25,600 per year unless you work in healthcare or in a profession that’s in short supply in the UK.

English requirements

To apply for ILR, you might have to demonstrate your English skills are at least a B1 level. For applicants who do not speak English as their first language, English test is mandatory to prove fluency in speaking and understanding the language since it is the official language of communication in all sectors of British life. An educational qualification from a recognised UK institution is accepted as meeting the standards for this requirement.

To check whether you have the right to receive ILR in another way, contact the specialists of the law firm “Prykhodko and Partners” and get an explanation about all possible options for you to obtain permanent residence in the UK.

How long does company registration take?

A standard electronic application to Companies House is usually processed within 24 hours. However, preparation of the structure, identity verification, obtaining an address, tax setup and account opening require additional time.

Who needs to complete identity verification?

Directors and persons with significant control — PSCs — must complete verification. Once completed, the individual receives a Companies House personal code used to confirm the relevant corporate role. Non-residents may also complete verification, including by using a biometric passport.

Where is the best place to open an account for a UK company with a non-resident director?

Since traditional UK High-Street Banks require a physical business presence, the fastest and most efficient solution for international companies is to open accounts with electronic money institutions (EMIs). Platforms such as Wise Business, Revolut Business and Payoneer are licensed by the FCA and provide full UK and international account details for transactions.

When must a company register for VAT?

The general threshold is £90,000 of taxable turnover over the previous consecutive 12 months or expected turnover during the next 30 days. Separate rules may apply to non-resident and cross-border models, so VAT should be analysed before sales begin.

Is a company required to file reports if it has not traded?

Yes, it is mandatory. Even companies with no operating activity must annually file so-called “Dormant Accounts” with Companies House and confirm the ownership structure through a Confirmation Statement. Failure to file these documents results in substantial penalties (from £150 to £1,500) and compulsory dissolution of the company, with its assets passing to the Crown.
