You can apply for ILR as a Tier 1 Entrepreneur dependant 28 days before you complete 5 years in the UK on Tier 1 Entrepreneur dependant visa if the main applicant is either applying for ILR or has already obtained ILR as Tier 1 Entrepreneur Migrant. Certain PBS dependants of Tier 1 Entrepreneur Migrants cannot apply for ILR at the same time as the main applicant due to not meeting the 5 years residential requirement and therefore they have to apply for ILR as Tier 1 Entrepreneur dependant after the main applicant has already been granted ILR as Tier 1 Entrepreneur Migrant. You can apply for ILR as a Tier 1 Entrepreneur dependant through Super Priority Service if the main applicant has already been granted ILR as a Tier 1 Entrepreneur.

A person applying for ILR as a dependent partner of a Tier 1 Entrepreneur migrant must meet the requirement of continuous residence in accordance with Appendix Continuous Residence which means that the applicant must not have been absent from the UK for more than 180 days in any 12 months during the period of leave granted as a result of an application made under the Immigration Rules in place from 11 January 2018.
