Hello, does anybody know if the process of getting British citizenship (the application, Life in the UK test, etc) will change after the end of this month (i.e when UK leaves the EU) or if it will remain the same in February too?

I have my documentation ready (Got PR card three years ago) but haven't studied for Life in the UK test yet so I can't submit my application until I pass the test which will probably be early February. I was wondering if I will still have time to do it in February or if things for EU citizens and our right to get BC will change :roll: :roll: ? Thank you!

There is no suggestion of any change yet as the UK will have a transitional period for one year.

Keep in mind that adult naturalisation in the UK is not a right, but a privilege that is granted at discretion. The UK approach to both immigration and citizenship is very different to that of the continent.
