Applying For Indefinite Leave To Remain: Special Considerations For Closed Categories

In the last three years, the Entrepreneur, Investor and Sole Representative of an Overseas Business category have all closed to new entrants. Those who already have a grant of leave in the category or have applied to enter prior to the relevant deadline are permitted to stay in the relevant category until they reach settlement.
