Individuals with full British citizenship rights have all the same rights as those who were born in the UK. A British Citizen is allowed to work, live, vote, receive public funds and raise a family in the country. The process to apply varies depending on your status at the time you apply. Our Rochdale immigration lawyers are here to help you with an application for British Citizenship. We can assess your eligibility, check documents and help you complete your forms. We can also prepare a Letter of Representation to accompany your application.
European Economic Area
As an EEA national you will usually be eligible to become a British Citizen after living in the UK for five years or more from the date you apply. You can apply for PR (Permanent Residency) in the UK if you have been here for five years without leaving for more than 90 days in any 12 month period. You can then apply to become a British Citizen a year after being granted PR, so long as you meet the eligibility requirements: these include an English language requirement, and not having been outside the UK over 450 days during the five years.
