Identify which route you are applying under, such as Skilled Worker, family, or long residence, as requirements vary.
Gather documents covering your full qualifying period, such as payslips, bank statements and tenancy agreements.
Confirm you hold the required Life in the UK test pass and English language evidence.
Calculate your total absences to ensure they remain within permitted limits for your route.
Where relevant, prepare confirmation of continued sponsorship or employment.
