You need to do and pass Life In The UK Test.Your father's status as a EU citizen doesn't exempt you from taking the test.

How many times do you need to be told?

You. Need. To. Take. The. Test.

Immigration applicants submitting under EU/EEA rules do not have to take the test for PR.

However, ALL naturalisation applicants (unless exempted for age or disability) need to take it (if they haven't done so already for ILR) as a condition for being granted UK citizenship.

What about roger federer, would he also have to take the test, he has practically lived in SW19 for the past 10 years, automatically acquired PR under eu laws, can HE do without the test?
