What are the key takeaways from the government's Extended Settlement proposals?

The government’s consultation on settlement proposals signals some of the most significant immigration rule changes in years. From extended qualifying periods to new income and English language requirements, the concept of “earned settlement” could dramatically reshape routes to Indefinite Leave to Remain. These proposals may apply to those already in the UK on visas, with transitional arrangements still unclear—making early awareness essential for both employers and migrants. Our latest blog by Gary McIndoe breaks down 10 key questions and the answers you need to know, including which visa types are affected, what factors could shorten or lengthen settlement paths, and why these changes matter for businesses and individuals alike.
