Help with filling out the citizenship form

Post by ozajasz151 » Fri Feb 21, 2025 8:00 pm

Hey there,

I am filling out the for the naturalisation application through settled status (5 year path). I have 3 questions :)

Q1:In my second year of university, I left the UK in March 2020 because of covid. However, the lease for student accommodation was until July 2020. I am asked for the last 5 years of my address Should I say I lived there until March 2020 or July 2020? I technically only lived there until March, but I also don't want to leave a huge gap.

Q2: Also, I have a 2 week gap in the middle of 2021 as I was sleeping at my ex's couch. Should I give her address (I wasnt registered anywhere), leave a gap or just say I lived at the previous place for 2 weeks longer?

Q3: I left the UK for 457 days in the last 5 years. I gave this reasoning at the end of the form (see pic below). Can I add anything else? Should I also answer the questions below? The last 3 questions look like theyre asking about the same thing (let me know if the image doesn't work)




Thank you very much :)

If your main address was abroad to need to write your address there.

you don't need to give that much detail. You are only 7 days ver the limit and those absences get disregarded. Just state you don't respect the absence requirement but up to 480 days are disregarded.

Thank you very much :)

Thanks a lot for your answer

Regarding my ex's address:

Do you think I could just say I moved to my place 2 weeks earlier to avoid the gap and not mention my ex's address? I would guess that it's not important to be precise up to a date?
Technically I have no proof I lived at my ex, I was not registered there for council tax so I don't know if I can count it as my residency

If that was your main residence I would just declare it regardless of where you were registered for council tax. Very unlikely it will matter.
