Your 10-year qualifying period starts from when?

I have got my first visa valid from 30/01/2012 and I entered the UK on 24/02/2012 and I am planning to apply for the IRL through the 10 years route. When shall I start counting my 10 years, from 30/01/2012 or from 24/02/2012? so I know when to apply in 2022.

Thank you

What visa did you enter UK on?

For ILR based on long residence, your qualifying period starts from the date you ENTERED the UK and not your initial visa issue date.

What visa the OP had makes no difference. All visas count even visitor visas.
