If you have previously been granted Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) and have been away from the UK for more than two years then you will need to apply for a Returning Resident visa. Applying for one follows a different set of protocols than other UK visa applications.
A UK returning resident is somebody with permission to live in the UK, without a time limit. Having left the country and not returning for more than 2 years, when the applicant wants to go back to living in the UK, a UK Returning Resident Visa is required. Although, once you are granted the visa and enter the UK, you can live there permanently.
