Implementation of the settlement fee waiver
Following the joint announcement on 23 Feb by the Defence Secretary and the Home Secretary that the fee for Settlement (ILR/ILE) would be waived for eligible non-UK Service Personnel (SP) on discharge, the fee regulations have now been laid in Parliament and the waiver will come into effect on 6 April 2022.
To be eligible, non-UK SP applying on or after 6 Apr, must meet existing Home Office criteria and:
Have served for six years or more, or
Discharged with an illness or injury attributable to service – irrespective of length of service, or are a veteran currently living in the UK who has not regularised their immigration status following six years or more of service or were discharged with an illness or injury attributable to service.
A Defence Instruction or Notice (DIN) will follow.
