When Can I Move To Europe with an ILR?

You can apply for the UK’s Indefinite Leave to Remain after staying in the UK for 5 years and after 12 months of obtaining the UK ILR status. While waiting for the decision on your Indefinite Leave to Remain, you are not allowed to leave the UK. Once you have been granted permanent residency in the UK and have applied for UK citizenship, you can exit and enter the UK without any restrictions on the time period of your absence in the country.

UK citizenship authorizes you to travel, live, and work freely within the UK. To relocate to a European country, you must apply for a visa directly from that country. British citizens are only permitted to stay in a European country for up to 90 days. Individuals who wish to stay in Europe for more than 90 days must apply for a visa.
