UK ILR Document Checklist 2026 (SET M Spouse Route)

Applying for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) under the 5 year partner route (SET M) is the final step before you can apply for British citizenship. The Home Office requires comprehensive evidence covering your identity, relationship, finances, accommodation, and knowledge of life in the UK. This checklist covers every document you need to submit. ImmigrationLaw.org.uk connects you with SRA-regulated solicitors who handle ILR applications every day.

The financial documents listed below are based on relying on Category A salaried employment. The exact evidence will vary if you are relying on self-employment, cash savings, or state benefits. A solicitor can advise on the correct evidence for your circumstances.
