You have a right of residence in the United Kingdom as a student, a retired person or in any other non-economically active capacity provided you have sufficient funds to support yourself throughout your stay without needing assistance from public funds.

If you have a right of residence you may remain in the United Kingdom for as long as you wish without obtaining a residence permit but if you wish you can apply to the Immigration and Nationality Directorate for a residence permit, which is normally valid for five years. However residence permits may be issued for a shorter period if you are working or studying in the United Kingdom for less than 12 months.
