British citizenship

Well as you are a EU citizen you can live and work in the UK freely.

He probably has Brexit in mind. So wants it for convenience.

i know i can move to london...
but how long its to be a citizen..citizenship and uk passport.

It takes less time to google search the answer to that, than it was to start a thread and wait for answers. Gov.uk site is your friend. Try it out:

Since you probably can't even be bothered to do that, and want to be fed the answer, here it is:

There are different ways to become a British citizen. The most common is called ‘naturalisation'.

You can apply for British citizenship by naturalisation if:

you're 18 or over
you're of good character, eg you don't have a serious or recent criminal record, and you haven't tried to deceive the Home Office or been involved in immigration offences in the last 10 years
you'll continue to live in the UK
you've met the knowledge of English and life in the UK requirements
you meet the residency requirement
And you must usually have:

lived in the UK for at least the 5 years before the date of your application
spent no more than 450 days outside the UK during those 5 years
spent no more than 90 days outside the UK in the last 12 months
been granted indefinite leave to stay in the UK (or permanent residence if you're an EEA national) - this means there's no specific date that you have to leave
had indefinite leave to stay in the UK for the last 12 months (or permanent residence if you're an EEA national)
not broken any immigration laws while in the UK
There are different requirements if your spouse or civil partner is a British citizen.

You can't include any time spent in the UK when you're exempt from immigration control (eg as a diplomat or member of visiting armed forces) as part of the 5 years.

so generally after 5 years??

Hello All,

Just wanted to clarify the naturalisation requirement on living for 5 years in UK. It would work for you if you were under the same visa category for 5 continuous years.

Good luck!
