Thank you for your enquiry.

In order to apply for PR as a student, the general rule is to hold comprehensive sickness insurance or European Health Insurance for the full duration as a student. At times, the Home Office have exercised discretion over those who have not held the same for the full period however, we must assess your case in more detail before we can confirm this.

A solicitor will contact you shortly to discuss your matter further.
