Permanent Residence & other visa routes
Permanent Residency in the UK:
Permanent residence (correctly known as indefinite leave to remain - ILR) is usually granted to family members and partners on completing a qualifying period of up to 5 years, once permanent residency (ILR) in the UK has been granted, you are no longer subject to immigration control as restrictions on work or business you do no longer apply and no time limits apply to your stay in the UK. However, bear in mind to maintain your indefinite leave to remain you must not spend more than 2 years outside the UK, as you must maintain ties to the UK and consider the UK your home. Should you maintain short periods of stay into the UK over a prolonged period of time you will likely lose your indefinite leave to remain (PR). In these circumstances, it would be beneficial to consider applying for citizenship, as naturalization as a UK citizen can be acquired 12 months after obtaining ILR.
General requirements are:
- No age restrictions on applying
- Applicants must complete qualifying period based on valid visa category
- Applicants over 18 years old must demonstrate knowledge of “life in the UK”
- Parties qualifying under marriage visa route, marriage / civil partnership must still exist & be genuine
- Parties intend to live permanently together
- After marriage adequate maintenance & accommodation for all parties and dependents has been maintained for the total qualifying period required without recourse to public funds.
- Applicant provides an original English language test certificate or provides proof of exemption as a qualifying national of an English 1st language country.
- Applicants under 18 years old are exempt, as our applicants over the age of 65

Points Based System - Tier Sponsorship Routes
The United Kingdom operates a points based tier visa system, and is the main immigration route for migrants from outside of the EEA - European Economic Area. The purposes are for working, studying investing or training.
The 5 tier system relies upon applicants being divided into the tiers. In order to be eligable for a visa you must pass a points based assessment. Points are awarded according to age, experience ad ability.
You will need to reach a points score above the set minimum threshold if your application is to be successful. The minimum number of points varies for each tier.

We understand Human Resource teams (or person) often are stretched to capacity with day-to-day issues, while recruitment can often take a backseat?
Regardless of the size of your business, all employers need HR expertise. But keeping costs to a minimum does not always mean having to do things in-house.
At My G Ltd., we specialize in Immigration. That means we can offer efficient and cost-effective outsourced HR solutions for your size of business where you have migration & immigration solution needs.
Whether you have a niche market dependency on specialist skills, a reliance on employing overseas nationals may be an employment strategy. Recruitment, managing employee relations and dealing with the administrative aspects may be costly in time but is an essential part of the process.
We can help take the strain out of your business. Call today to discuss how My G Ltd. can help you.
Why Use My G Ltd?
- Do you attract large numbers of overseas applicants when you are recruiting?
- Do you need or have a UKVI sponsorship license?
- Do you employ Tier 1, Tier 2-5 dependents, Tier 4 Students?
- Do you employ non-EU national family members of EEA nationals?
- Do you employ Croatian Nationals or dependents?
- Do you employ EU/ EEA or Swiss nationals?
If you can answer 'yes' to any of these questions you will need to introduce immigration (HR) compliance procedures into your company or business. Failure to do so can result in penalties being imposed by the UK Visa & Immigration.
Another consideration is the size of your workforce. Depending on the size of your business, you may need to assign and delegate immigration (HR) compliance duties. You will also need to ensure your employee files are in order, and that you have prepared and distributed an employee handbook.
Performance reviews are a vital part of the employment process, and of course, compensation systems need structuring fairly and transparently.
All of these things are key to running a successful business, and importantly you must adhere to the rules and legislation as a responsible employer.
If you need advice on any of these issues or are considering appointing an immigration partner to help your business, call us today. We can help your business take the next step.
