Proof Of Living in the UK (Spouse Route)

Post by Smurf786 » Tue Nov 16, 2021 11:57 pm

Hi,

Applying for citizenship for partner route and it states the following:
Proof of living in the UK for (Name) for 5 years if applying in your own right or 3 years if applying as the spouse of a British Citizen

If you are married to, or in a civil partnership with, a British citizen, you must have been in the UK for the past 3 years.
If you are not married, or in a civil partnership with, a British citizen, you must have been in the UK for the past 5 years.
If you are an EEA National, you need to include letters from employers, educational establishments or other government departments, indicating your presence in the UK during the relevant 3- or 5-year period.
If you are a Non-EEA National, you need to include your passport to prove you have lived in the UK for the relevant 3- or 5-year period.
If you do not have your passport or it was not stamped when you entered the UK, you need to include letters (for example, from your employer or government department) as proof.
Bank statements or household bills are not suitable proof you have been living in the UK.
I shall be supplying passport but have been told a P60 or employment history is required from HMRC also?

I assume this is only required if passport is not supplied?

Thank you,

UK ILR holders only need to supply their passport(s) covering the residency period.
Employment history - you fill in a list of employments on the application - you do not need to prove the details.
Employment is not a pre-requisite for naturalisation.
This is just my opinion as a member of this forum and does not constitute immigration advice.
Please do not send me private messages asking for advice.
