Can I apply for British Cistizenship if I divorce on Permanent residence card?

Post by Tee2121 » Thu Sep 23, 2021 12:14 pm

Hello, I arrived in the UK in 2001 as a non-EU citizen, married an EU citizen in 2008, and received residency documents in 2009.

First Residence documentation
Issued 2009 valid until 2014
Type of document: Residence Card of a Family member of a EEA National

and then

Second Residence documentation
Renewal date Mars 25
Type of document: Permanent residence card

Could I still apply for British citizenship if I'm going through a divorce?
Is this the way to proceed, if so?

B1 test, Life in the UK test, AN form?

Thank you very much.

Yes of course, there is no dependency concept for naturalisation, you are assessed in your own right, your marital arrangements are not relevant. I assume you have Settled Status - then you are free from immigration restrictions.
Is this the way to proceed, if so?

B1 test, Life in the UK test, AN form? + arrange referees

Thank you very much.
Note the government guidance for AN: https://www.gov.uk/government/publicati ... n-guidance
