Hello,

This may seem as a stupid question but perhaps nothing can be considered as stupid when it comes to immigration laws
I obtained my British Citizenship some 5 years ago after going through the route of WP- HSMP/Tier1/ILR.

I got a job offer from a company based in a another European country which I have decided to accept. The plan is only to come back to the UK after 2-3 years but during my time out of the UK, the tax experts advised me to become a "non-resident" which is more tax efficient. My question is, does a "non-resident" status can in any way affect me being a British national? Is there some obscure law somewhere that says that if a British citizen that wasn't born in the UK leaves the country, their citizenship can be revoked if they leave the UK for X number of years.

I'm pretty sure the answer is NO - once you're a citizen the immigration game is over so I just seeking some reassurance from you kind people to this reasonable assumption.

Thanks

you said it your self ...No

your citizenship can only be revoked if :
1- you represent threat to UK security and/or interests ( terrorism, genocide, war crime...etc).
2- you have obtained BC by deception in any aspect.
3- or basically you renounce it willingly.

I can not think of any other reasons.
you are British and you are free to go and leave any where for as long as you wish. if the "tax Expert's" advice is legal, then there are no issues.

Thanks! I called the home office and they confirmed. I wasn't really worried but better safe than sorry.
Good luck to all of you seeking/applying for citizenship!
