Work Permit to Student visa

Post by hsmp_info » Sat Jul 04, 2009 10:45 pm

Hi,
I am currently in UK on Work permit visa. I have already spent 3.5 years on this visa. Now I am planning to study in UK for 18 months followed by working here thereafter.
I am 1.5 years away from getting ILR. Will my time spent during my studies contribute towards my ILR?
Please can you advise me on this?

Thanks,
Rohit

Yes, but only for 10 years ILR, five years is for time on work-based visas only.
