The long residence applications are based on either lawful and continuous residence for 10 years or continuous residence for 20 years. The UK Immigration Rules allow a person to apply for permission to stay or for settlement in the UK based on long residence of 10 or 20 years.
The UK immigration rules on long residence recognise the ties a person may form with the UK over a lengthy period of residence in the UK. All long residence applications are treated as human rights claims by the Home Office UKVI, and a refusal of a long residence application normally triggers an in-country right of appeal unless the human rights claim is certified by the Home Office UKVI as manifestly unfounded.
An application based on 10 years long residence is made in accordance with requirements as set out in Appendix Long Residence of the Immigration Rules and an application for leave to remain based on 20 years long residence is made as per Appendix Private Life of the Immigration Rules.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about Long Residence Applications
The following are various Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about the long residence applications:
A long residence application allows a person to apply for leave to remain or Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) based on the length of time they have lived in the UK, either:
- 10 years of lawful continuous residence (ILR); or
- 20 years of continuous residence (lawful or unlawful) for Limited Leave to Remain.
This route allows individuals who have legally lived in the UK continuously for 10 years to apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) under Appendix Long Residence.
This applies to individuals who have lived continuously in the UK for 20 years, regardless of immigration status. It leads to Limited Leave to Remain, not ILR, and falls under Appendix Private Life.
Yes. You will be granted leave to remain for 30 months under the 10 years route to settlement, which means that you will qualify for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) after 10 years under this route.
Unless the Home Office UKVI has certified your human rights claim as manifestly unfounded, you will have an in-country appeal right against the refusal of your long residence application. An appeal against the refusal of long residence application must be filed with the First Tier Tribunal (FTT) within 14 days of the refusal decision.
