Applying for indefinite leave to remain (ILR) under the 10-year lawful residence route in the UK requires thorough documentation to prove your continuous legal stay.

Essential Documents Checklist

One of the most common questions applicants ask is about the 10 year long residence documents required. The core documents typically include:

All passports and travel documents used during the 10-year period

Valid or expired Biometric Residence Permits (BRPs)

Evidence of continuous lawful residence, such as visa approval letters, extension decisions, and immigration history

Detailed records of absences from the UK, ensuring they fall within permitted limits (no more than 540 days in total)

Additional evidence like bank statements, tenancy agreements, utility bills, and official correspondence may support your application.
