UK settlement checker
Answer a few questions to see your likely pathway to settlement and the earliest date it implies. Nothing you enter is sent anywhere or stored.
General information only. This is not immigration advice and is not affiliated with the Home Office or GOV.UK. Rules may change and guidance is still to come. For advice on your own case, speak to an OISC-regulated adviser or a solicitor.
How the checker works
The checker follows the rules in the Home Office's government response to the earned settlement consultation (CP 1707, November 2026). It looks at your route, when you started, your earnings, whether you have claimed public funds or breached immigration rules, and whether you meet the mandatory requirements.
What it cannot do
- It does not know your full history, so it cannot give you an official decision or immigration advice.
- It does not cover rules on absences from the UK or every route-specific condition.
- Several details are still to be published. Where that affects your result, the checker says so under "Still unclear".
