depends on their definition of "You are a permanent UK resident" For non-British citizens living in the UK, that particular phrase can mean almost anything. I've seen it mean "You must have lived in the UK for the last 2 years", "You must have ILR", "You must be naturalized", "You must have a visa with longer than {x} months/years left on it"
