Immigration: Personal Income

Asked by Ian SollomLiberal DemocratHome OfficeTabled Answered 9 February 2026UIN 108379

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether interest generated on savings will count towards the proposed £12,570 personal income threshold for acquiring permanent residence.

Answered by Mike Tapp

The earned settlement model, proposed in ’A Fairer Pathway to Settlement’, is currently subject to a public consultation, running until 12 February 2026.

Details of mandatory requirements, including those relating to the personal income threshold, will be finalised following that consultation.

The final model will also be subject to economic and equality impact assessment, which we have committed to publish in due course.
