You may be eligible to apply for indefinite leave to remain in the UK as a Tier 1 Investor or Tier 1 Investor ILR after spending 2, 3 or 5 years in the UK.  The requirements that you will need to satisfy in order to qualify for Tier 1 Investor visa ILR will depend upon when your initial Tier 1 Investor visa was granted and the amount of your investment. Applications for indefinite leave to remain as a Tier 1 Investor can be made until 17 February 2028.
