UK ILR Rule Shock 2026: 5 Year Settlement Route Extended to 10–15 Years? Migrants Demand Fairness

Описание: UK ILR 5-year route may be extended to 10 or even 15 years under new immigration proposals.
Thousands of migrants, NHS workers, and skilled professionals could be affected.
Here’s what the parliamentary debate revealed and what it means for you.

Thousands of migrants across the UK are facing uncertainty after proposals suggest extending the Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) qualifying period from 5 years to 10 or even 15 years. This major immigration reform has sparked intense parliamentary debate, public petitions with over 100,000 signatures, and strong reactions from healthcare workers, skilled professionals, and families already living in the UK.

In this video, we explain the proposed UK ILR changes, what Members of Parliament have said about fairness and retrospective rule changes, and how these reforms could impact Skilled Worker visa holders, Health and Care workers, dependents, and long-term residents.

Key questions discussed:
• Will the government extend the settlement timeline to 10–15 years?
• Will existing migrants keep their 5-year pathway?
• How could this affect NHS staffing and the UK economy?
• What happens next after the consultation process?

Healthcare and social care workers are at the center of this debate. Many arrived during critical shortages and played vital roles in supporting the NHS. Extending the ILR route may impact workforce stability and long-term planning for thousands of families.

Skilled professionals including engineers, tech workers, and high-demand specialists have also raised concerns about predictability and trust in immigration policy. Stability and transparency are key factors in choosing the UK as a destination for long-term settlement.

We break everything down clearly so you understand what is being proposed, what MPs are arguing, and what it could mean for migrants currently living and working in Britain.
