If you are experiencing domestic abuse and your relationship has broken down, you may be eligible to apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) in the UK.
This route allows you to secure your immigration status without needing to complete the usual five-year qualifying period. The UK immigration system recognises that no one should be forced to stay in an abusive relationship to protect their right to remain in the country.
Your Options for Protection
There are two main routes available:
- Appendix Victim of Domestic Abuse (Appendix VDA)
Apply directly for ILR if your relationship has permanently broken down due to domestic abuse. - Migrant Victims of Domestic Abuse Concession (MVDAC)
A temporary route that provides short-term leave and access to public funds while you prepare your ILR application.
