Does time spent on a working holiday visa count towards indefinite leave to remain qualification?
The WH Visa does not count towards ILR as it is and always has been a temporary visa. It has n ow been replace by the Youth Mobility Scheme which has greater flexibility for working in the UK, but like the WHV is a once only, non extendable visa. However, since you have now got a sponsored work visa, any time spent in the UK on this visa does count towards residency, Your residency entitlement starts counting from April 2006.
