British Citizenship

British Citizenship is the final step in the immigration journey, granting individuals the rights and responsibilities of a UK citizen, including the right to vote and hold a British passport.

Applicants must generally have held ILR for at least 12 months, meet residency requirements, pass the Life in the UK Test, and demonstrate English proficiency.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need ILR before naturalising?

In most cases yes. You usually need indefinite leave (or settled status) and then meet the residence and good character requirements.
