Settling down in UK is a dream of many people who live in different parts of the world. UK is a developed country and the welcoming nature of its residents promotes the urge to come and stay in UK permanently. One must think that what are criteria of permanently residing in UK or how is it possible?

Well! We have the answers for you. WE will give you an insight into the immigration process and will emphasize the factors involved in this scenario. 

How to become a United Kingdom’s resident 

You will be considered eligible for applying to settle down in UK if you have got a residence card as one of the following two: 

1-Refugee

2-Individual with humanitarian protection 

Fee

Well if you happen to apply as a refugee no fee would be charged from you as it requires no money to apply for settlement as a refugee. 

The Family members 

You can also take your family members including your partner and your dependent children. 

There are certain rules which decide that whether or not your partner would be considered eligible for going with you or not. 

You must have a genuine relationship with 2 years’ time with your civil partner or wife. 

The age of your children must be under 18. 

Certain Exceptions 

If your partner or dependent child/children are already in UK through a visa of another category or if they’re currently in UK without permission they won’t be able to immerse them in our immigration process.  

If your status in UK as a visitor is illegal!
