London: The British government has officially announced to increase the period of obtaining permanent residence from the current 5 years to 10 years.

British Interior Minister Shabana Mehmood confirmed the new immigration system and explained other details.

The British government last year proposed extending the five-year period normally required for permanent residency, known as Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR), to 10 years.
