Hi Friends,

A friend of mine from Germany is here in the UK for last 6 years and also got British nationality last month. His wife is from Pakistan is here in the UK for last 5 years on a EEA resident permit for 5 years which is expiring next month in March.

Can she apply for British Citizenship directly on a basis of her husband's either German or British citizenship OR do she need to get an ILR visa first?

Can someone please help us out here?

Many Thanks

See Q1 & Q5 in Citizenship FAQs - Common Questions - Read before posting.

She can apply directly based on her husband being German so she has obtain PR after 5 years of residence and her husband being British so she can apply as soon as she obtain PR.
