Indefinite leave to remain (ILR) for Skilled Workers is permission to live in the UK on a permanent basis, free from immigration restrictions. This is in contrast to further leave to remain (FLR) on this route, which will also allow you to stay in the UK as a Skilled Worker, but for a limited period of time and subject to complying with your conditions of stay.
When it comes to leave to remain as a Skilled Worker, following your initial grant of leave, you must usually apply for FLR, before being eligible to apply for ILR. As a Skilled Worker visa-holder, you can apply to extend your visa as many times as you want under the rules, provided you continue to meet the relevant requirements on this route. However, once you become eligible for ILR, this will give you the right to live and work in the UK for as long as you like, without the need to apply for any further extensions of stay.
Having lived in the UK with ILR for an additional 12-month period, you will also be able to apply for British citizenship, giving you the right to hold a British passport.
