What is Leave to Remain?
Leave to Remain allows eligible individuals to continue residing 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 continue living in the United Kingdom beyond the validity of their current visa or immigration permission.
Applications must normally be submitted before your visa expires to avoid overstaying and immigration complications. Depending on your immigration history and category, you may qualify under family, private life, work or humanitarian routes.
Legate Hub provides professional immigration support, application preparation, and evidential guidance to help applicants maintain lawful immigration status and progress towards settlement in the UK.
