Yes, ILR can be lost if an individual leaves the UK for more than 2 years continuously or breaches immigration laws during their stay in the country.

Employers can provide documentation proving continuous employment under qualifying visas (e.g., Skilled Worker), offer guidance on meeting residency requirements, and assist with English language proficiency tests if needed.

Holding ILR allows you to leave the UK, but extended absences (usually more than 2 years) can potentially lead to the loss of your ILR status. There are specific rules about maintaining continuous residence to preserve your ILR.

Gaps in employment may affect your eligibility for ILR, especially if you're applying under a work-related visa. UKVI will assess whether you've maintained continuous residence and complied with your visa conditions during any periods of unemployment.

Requirements typically include residing legally in the UK for a qualifying period (usually 5 years), meeting English language proficiency requirements, passing the Life in the UK test, demonstrating good character, and complying with immigration laws. Specific requirements vary based on your visa category.

ILR grants permanent residence in the UK, allowing you to live, work, and study without immigration restrictions. Unlike a visa, ILR does not expire, and you are not tied to a specific employer or activity.
