UK extends migrant residency path to 10 years post-2021, with fast tracks for key workers, starting spring 2026.
The UK government has announced a major immigration overhaul, extending the path to permanent residency from five to ten years for most migrants arriving after 2021, with eligibility based on contributions like employment, tax payments, English proficiency, and a clean criminal record.
Fast-track options remain for NHS staff, high earners, and skilled workers, while those on lower-skilled visas, receiving benefits, or who overstayed may face waits of up to 30 years.
The changes, part of a broader strategy to reduce migration, are under consultation until February and will take effect in spring 2026.
Critics warn the reforms could harm essential workers and deepen inequality.
