The long residence applications include an ILR application based on 10 years of residence, a further leave to remain application based on 10 years of residence, and applications based on 20 years of residence.

Before 9 July 2012, it was possible to grant ILR under the long residence provisions after 14 years of continuous residence, but that provision was removed by changes to the Immigration Rules on 9 July 2012. Therefore, it is no longer possible to apply for ILR after 14 years of residence since 2012.

You can challenge the refusal of your long residence application by filing an appeal to the First Tier Tribunal (FTT) within 14 days of the refusal decision. If your human rights claim based on long residence has been certified as manifestly unfounded and you have not been given an in-country right of appeal, you can challenge the certification decision by way of Judicial Review. 

The 10-year-long residence is based on continuous and lawful residence in the UK for 10 years. In contrast, the 20-year-long residence is a continuous residence for 20 years, whether lawfully, unlawfully or a combination of both lawful and unlawful residence. As a result of 10 years long residence, the applicant is normally granted Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR). In contrast, based on the 20-year-long residence initial application, the applicant is granted 30 months leave to remain under the 10-year route to settlement.
