Returning Resident Visa

The Returning Resident Visa allows former holders of Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) to return to the UK and resume their permanent resident status.

If you previously lived in the UK with ILR but stayed abroad long enough to lose it, this visa gives you a pathway back — provided you can show strong ties and compelling reasons for your absence.

At Bridgefield Legal, we help you present a clear, well‑supported application that meets Home Office expectations.
