A Bill to remove financial requirements and fees for applications for indefinite leave to remain in the United Kingdom from foreign or Commonwealth members of the armed forces on discharge and their families; and for connected purposes.
This bill would remove the financial barriers for foreign or Commonwealth armed forces personnel when applying for indefinite leave to remain in the UK after discharge, and would do the same for their families. By scrapping fees and other financial requirements, it aims to make it easier for service members who have served the UK to settle here long term.
The bill is currently at the 2nd reading in the House of Commons. If it progresses, it would move to committee stage, followed by report and third readings, and then potential consideration in the Lords.
