Hi,

I will be applying ILR (SetM) in October and want to apply for naturalisation immediately after.

I want to retain my South African citizenship. Can I apply for the non-acquisition of British citizenship certificate prior to having ILR? that way I can get the retention of South African citizenship certificated well in advance and then apply for UK naturalisation the day after I get ILR.

Is this possible?

The non acquisition letter can be applied at any time. The HO doesn't care (as long as you pay the fee...).

thanks for the reply Jambo!
