How Do You Become a British Citizen Or a British National?

 You may have heard of British citizenship and what it means. However, you might not know that there are actually two ways to get it. The first way is through naturalization where you can become a British citizen through birth. The second way is by applying for British citizenship by naturalization.

There are many reasons why people want to become British citizens but most of them have nothing to do with actually living in this country. Immigrants who overstay their visa usually do not have an opportunity to apply for British citizenship because they cannot prove their residency. Some of those people who overstay may apply for naturalization certificates so that they can apply for a British passport once they have settled permanently in the UK. Overstayers can apply for British citizenship through marriage or even through descent.

The requirements for British citizenship is quite simple. For naturalization, you must have lived in the country for five years continuously or have the right of citizenship, or you must have parents who are British citizens or children who are British citizens. In addition, you must have not received a reduction in status or had your citizenship revoked for five years. British citizenship is not given to everyone who applies for it, only those who have good moral character.

When you apply for British citizenship, you will be asked some questions. They include your date of birth, name, date of birth, spouse or any other person with whom you are to live, your immigration status, date of departure, length of stay, and country of citizenship (if different from UK). You also need to declare if you are bankrupt, a bankrupt, have been convicted of an offence or have suffered bankruptcy. You will also be asked to declare if you have ever traveled to a country that is not your country and how long you have lived there. Finally, you will need to provide information on your marital status, where you work, and your religion.

Once you complete the British citizenship application, you must wait for immigration time restrictions. If you intend to work in the UK or live in the UK, you will have to visit the Home Office before your status application is approved. You must then remain in the UK for the period of six months after the completion of your application and for the period of three years after the end of your leave to live in the UK if you have arrived after six months from your original entry as a British citizen. If you have become a British citizen while your application is being processed, you can stay in the UK after your six-month waiting period.

Once your application is accepted and you have met the residency requirements, you must complete the naturalisation process. To do this, you must apply for a British citizenship application. This application is usually available from the relevant immigration office in the country you wish to settle in. There are many ways to complete your naturalisation process, including sponsorship from a British citizen or spouse, or if you have reached the age of eighteen, sponsorship from a parent or other adult relative who is a British citizen or a British national.
