Indefinite Leave To Remain - Loss

Loss

ILR may be lost if a person leaves the United Kingdom and on return is given leave to enter other than for an indefinite period. This may be because, e.g., they mistakenly seek to enter as a visitor, or the immigration officer believes that they do not intend to reside in the United Kingdom.

ILR may also be curtailed by the Home Secretary for reasons of national security or if the holder of the ILR commits an offence that could lead to their deportation from the United Kingdom.

A person may also lose ILR by leaving the United Kingdom for more than two years. However, in some circumstances, such a person may reapply for indefinite leave to enter the UK.

British Overseas citizens, British subjects and British protected persons do not lose ILR no matter how long they stay outside the UK.

Famous quotes containing the word loss:

    Begin with loss and see
    how the world contradicts you,
    how the horizon implies that beyond it
    the water is not empty
    but full of ships
    all docking at another island.
    Lynn Emanuel (b. 1949)

    This loss of interest, hair, and enterprise ...
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    Upset at the young wife’s
    first loss of virtue
    in a riverside thicket,
    a flock of birds
    flies up,
    mourning the loss
    with their wings.
    Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)
