What is Leave to Remain?
Leave to Remain allows eligible individuals to continue living lawfully in the UK after their current immigration permission expires.
Leave to Remain refers to permission granted by the Home Office allowing an individual to remain in the United Kingdom beyond the validity of their current visa. Applications must normally be submitted before visa expiry to avoid overstaying.
Depending on your immigration category, you may qualify under family, private life, work, or humanitarian routes. Many Leave to Remain categories can eventually lead to settlement and British citizenship.
Legate Hub provides tailored immigration guidance, document preparation assistance, and application management to help clients maintain lawful status in the UK.
