British citizenship application - Travel from EU to UK post 31st December 2020
Posted: Thu Oct 15, 2020 2:18 pm
Hi All,
I am an EU national and I have been working full time in the UK since 2013 without any breaks. I have obtained permanent residence card in 2018 without any problems and I have continued working full time since then as well. I have a UK degree and I am an owner for 2 properties in the UK. I am going to sit life in the UK test in November and once I get a result I intend to apply for a British citizenship. Hopefully it will be straightforward case.
I am aware that my permanent residency card is valid until 31st December 2020. I don't intend to apply for the settled status. I prefer to use my permanent residency card to apply for the British passport.
On 25th December 2020 I plan to make a trip to France and come back to the UK on 4th January 2021. I will travel by car with a group of friends. I was wondering if I should expect any problems on my return to the UK?? On GOV website I read that EU citizens will be able to enter UK without any VISA etc. post 31st December 2020

Should I be worried and expect problems at the border or it should be fine? I am just concious that my permanent residence card won't be valid in January and I won't have settled status. Another worry is whether this travel could jeopardize my citizenship application in any way?
Many thanks for all advice.
