Naturalisation qualification

Naturalisation is the term used for people who have been processed through the immigration system, have made their home here in the UK and would like to apply to become British usually after 5 years of continuous residency. There are other applications for those who have a right through lineage to apply for Nationality and in most cases they will apply to register as British.

Do you qualify?

  • You must be 18 years old or over.
  • You have held settlement in the UK for at least 12 months at the time of making your application, either under Indefinite Leave to Remain, or as an EEA national with permanent residence or settled status.
  • You do not have excessive absences from the UK during the qualifying period, ie more than 450 days in the last 5 years and absences have not exceeded 90 days 12 months immediately prior to submitting your application.
  • You must satisfy the Home Office that you have met the Knowledge of Language and life in the UK Koll requirement
  • You are of ‘good character’ and do not have a recent criminal record and have not broken any immigration laws or conditions while in the UK during you stay here.

Inform

Educating you on the steps

  • The consultation will assess whether you meet the full criteria of Indefinite Leave to Remain. This process can be quite complex depending on your residency and how long you have spent outside the UK.
  • If we are not satisfied that you meet the requirements at this stage we may ask to review documentation to evidence your eligibility before proceeding to offer our representation services. Our firm will not take on an application if we feel it will fail.

Supporting you on the way

  • General on-hand support during the whole process.
