Yes, the UK Skilled Worker Visa does offer a pathway to Permanent residence (ILR), provided you meet the eligibility criteria. To qualify for an ILR with a UK skilled worker visa, you must complete at least 5 years of consecutive residency in the UK with a valid skilled worker visa. You will also be required to meet other requirements, which include a minimum salary threshold, working for a licensed sponsor, and meeting the residency rules. Once you receive an ILR, you will be allowed to live and work in the UK without any limitations or restrictions, and you can even qualify for British citizenship upon fulfilling the requirements for it.
