Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood said they must pay off the full amount before they can be eligible for settled status.
Eligible adults will likely pay off an amount each month above a set threshold, similar to a student loan.
Migrants need settled status, or indefinite leave to remain, to be able to permanently live, work, and study in the UK.
