I`m happy you find my question amusing. I had a serious (non-allergic but practical) reason for the question. Paper wears and tears within a few months (even with moderate use)... and the plastic thingy is more durable and fits into any wallet or cellphone wallet along with credit card and driving ...

you will have answers to your questions

I have just checked and there is no answer to my question there,

what does clock starts ticking again mean? I have wait another 5 years, or I have to wait another 6 months or I have to wait another 1.5 years?? I dont understand.

i suppose you are an EEA national ? hope it makes sense now! Swedish is an EEA national. I didnt understand a single word. (I know its only £55), but 1. I always thought that I can apply for BC without having a residence card or EEA3 card 2. Yes, I had a break in employment. I have been out of work ...

Hi all, To apply for British citizenship a) do I have to be self-sufficient as in “on Jobseekers allowance NOT longer ie shorter than 6 months”? b) do I have to prove that I have been looking for jobs (applying for jobs, interviews etc.)?

Hello all, after 5 years and 3 months... I finally got my PR 1 year ago and now (6years and 3 months) after arriving in the UK, I`m filling out the AN-Form. But I`ve now stumbled across an English test section. I`m slightly confused... last year mid March 2013 I already did and passed my "Life in ...

Hi all,
its me again. I would like to change me name and register it in a deed poll. I was wondering should I do it before I apply for British citizenship or after? Couldnt find any thread with this topic. Anybody has esperiences with this?
Cheers

None of these authorities have anything to do with your citizenship application. They will check with the HMRC if for the time you were in employment you have paid your taxes and dues and do not have any claims pending. cheers vr Taxes too? Does that include council tax? I have a council tax bill ...

You do not need to hold a job in order to apply for british citizenship. And if you claim any benefits it will in no way affect your citizenship application. PROVIDED you satisfy all the requirements you will be granted citizenship. cheers vr Alright relieved... I was asking because these guys here ...

But just as I was starting to prepare for British citizenship I lost me job in July. I`m a (European) Swedish citizen. I`ve been working these past 3.5 ...

There are subtle difference between the two. The main one is that PR is obtained under the EEA regulations and ILR under the UK domestic rules. For naturalisation purposes, they are the same. It the same for someone on a work permit/tier 1 visa - he can apply only after 6 years of residence in the ...

you have to wait 6 years, 5 years exercising treaty rights (after that you get PR) and another 12 months free from immigration control.ILR does`t apply to you, after 5 years you will get PR but you have to prove it, so for the 6 months after you entered UK can you prove that you been looking for ...

maybe for the same reason a Pakistani or a Nigerian citizen would want to become British?
