"Will migrants have to wait ten years for indefinite leave to remain?

In many cases, yes, although it will depend on their income, job and visa type. This marks a significant shift away from the current system, where people can typically apply for indefinite leave after five years on a qualifying visa."

Soon enough 30y?
