Best route to Passport
Posted: Fri Mar 23, 2018 1:18 pm
Hi all,
I'm an Aussie who has lived here for 27 years. I have ILR but stupidly have never applied for a UK passport. I'm now looking to do this but I'm seeing a confusing array of information about how to approach it. It looks like I need to pay £1000, do a naturalisation exam and go from there. Just wondering if anyone knows a more direct route. I have Irish grandparents by the way (pre-partition) and my original ILR was on this basis. I was married to a British citizen and that was the basis for my current ILR. We were together here for 26 years with 3 kids but are now divorced.
Any advice from those with more experience would be very welcome/appreciated.
Thanks
TJH
