I explained whether and how you can apply for permission to settle permanently in the UK (known as ‘indefinite leave to remain’) if you are here under Tier 2 (General) of the points-based system. Details of these requirements are set out in Part 6A of the Immigration Rules (paragraph 245HF).
You must meet all the requirements of the Immigration Rules at the time when you apply for settlement. If you are considering applying for settlement in the future, you should note that the Immigration Rules are subject to change.

At present, you cannot apply for settlement until you have been in the UK for a continuous period of 5 years in an eligible immigration category.
