Navigating Naturalisation

You spend time and money on naturalisation applications. Vira can help you make it count.

UK citizenship is a benefit because it allows unhindered freedom to work and study in the country, and permission to apply for a British passport of applying for a British passport.

A claim to British nationality is not automatic, there are several routes to qualify and in most circumstances you will need through the naturalisation process to apply.

Defining Naturalisation

Naturalisation occurs when an individual legally changes their nationality. In the case of UK citizenship, the eligibility criteria for this process include the fact that you are:

Over 18 years of age
Settled in the UK for at least 12 months, through permanent settlement such as Indefinite Leave to Remain
Present in the country throughout your qualification period. An absence of over 450 days in the last 5 years and 90 days in the 12 months prior to your application may render you ineligible.
Capable of speaking fluent English
Not accompanied by a serious criminal record

While applying for naturalisation, you should keep some key factors in mind, the most important of which entails checking whether your country of origin allows its members to change their nationality, or hold dual citizenship.
