British Citizenship

A considered route to your next chapter in the United Kingdom

← Back to United Kingdom

ILR does not automatically become citizenship. Residence and absence calculations must be checked against the applicable naturalisation route.

Eligibility

What to review

  • Qualifying settled status, such as indefinite leave to remain
  • The applicable residence period and physical-presence requirements
  • Absence limits, English and Life in the UK requirements where applicable
  • Good character and other nationality-law conditions
Pathway

Key considerations

  • Naturalisation is a separate application from ILR.
  • The standard adult route and the route for spouses or civil partners of British citizens differ.
  • A British passport follows acquisition of citizenship; it is not the same application.
