Re: change of Address - Citizenship

As @CR001 said you don’t need to inform HO regarding the address change, you are not bound by Visa requirements anymore. Good luck! Thanks for the clarification. Just to conclude our discussion, we are not required to update the HO regarding the address change for Citizenship application. I have con...

Point 2: It shouldn’t be an issue Point 1: I personally think it shouldn’t be an issue either as it was a very short employment and people can easily forget about it, if they find it in their records they should assess it as that. Which Visa were you on when you became a director of a company? Hi ag...

So what should I add it, so do I just put 000s and then explain a...
