If you were initially granted leave as a Tier 1 Investor Migrant before 06 November 2014 and you are applying for ILR prior to 06 April 2022, you will need to satisfy the UK Visas & Immigration that:

• You have invested at least £1 million in the UK;
• You have invested at least 75% of your investment funds in the UK by way of share capital or loan capital in active and trading UK-registered companies or UK Government bonds, and have invested the remaining balance in the UK through the purchase of assets or by keeping money on deposit in a UK regulated financial institution;
• The investment was made no earlier than 12 months prior to the date of your application which resulted in the grant of the initial period of leave as a Tier 1 Investor Migrant;
• You have maintained the level of investment throughout the period of your continuous residence in the UK as a Tier 1 Investor Migrant except the initial 3 months and you are able to demonstrate this to the satisfaction of the UK Visas and Immigration through specified documents;
• You have been continuously resident in the UK for 2 years (if you have invested at least £10 million), 3 years (if you have invested at least £5 million) or 5 years (if you have invested at least £1 million);
