Pathways to Settlement
Eligible UK visa routes such as the Self-Sponsorship and Skilled Worker pathways can lead to Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) after five years of lawful residence. To qualify, applicants must have lived in the UK for a minimum of 186 days during any 12-month period across the five years. Additionally, applicants must pass the Life in the UK Test and demonstrate English language proficiency at B1 level in speaking and listening.
Once granted, ILR provides the right to live and work in the UK without time limitations, easier access to education opportunities, and the ability to sponsor family members under less restrictive conditions. It is a crucial step toward full integration and long-term security in the UK.
Pathways to Citizenship
Following ILR, applicants may become eligible to apply for British citizenship after one additional year. Citizenship requires continued lawful residence, demonstration of good character, and ongoing compliance with immigration rules. British citizenship provides individuals and their families with long-term security, global mobility, and access to all civic privileges.
How Strong Is the British Passport?
British citizenship offers one of the strongest passports globally, enabling visa-free or visa-on-arrival travel to over 185 countries, including the USA, Canada, Japan, Australia, and all Schengen countries. In addition to this extensive global mobility, British passport holders also enjoy streamlined entry or e-visa access to a wide range of destinations worldwide.

Real Results...
Talk to our legal team and find out how we make global mobility a reality.
Every time a client receives their residency or citizenship approval, we’re reminded why this work matters. It's not just paperwork — it’s about transforming lives and creating new legacies.
We don’t push clients towards just any programme — we listen, we assess, and we recommend only what we’d choose ourselves. That’s what makes Coates Global different.
I’ve seen families reunited, children enrolling in world-class schools, and entrepreneurs unlocking international markets. That’s the power of what we do.
Even in the most complex of cases, there’s always a path forward — it just takes clarity, strategy, and the right team. That’s what we bring to every client.
Helping high-net-worth clients gain citizenship is more than a transaction. It’s about long-term security, mobility, and legacy planning — and we ensure it's done with precision.
Being part of this team means being part of something bigger — we open borders, but more importantly, we open futures.
When a client tells me, ‘You’ve changed my family’s life,’ I know our commitment goes far beyond legal expertise — it’s about people.
With every investor we support, we’re contributing to a stronger, more interconnected world. It’s an honour to play that role.
The World is rising, and our clients are part of that story. We ensure they have access to the global opportunities they deserve.
