I've been at my current company for 2 years and have all the paperwork ready to apply for British Citizenship (I am Italian) but have just accepted a new job that starts in January 2024.

When I submit the forms do I list my current employer or the next? Is it best I wait to apply until I pass probation in the next job?

Thanks!

Employment isn't a requirement for naturalization - attach documents from whichever job you currently hold, it'll be fine.

I am collecting proofs of employment for the last 5 years, but I was unemployed between January 2019 and March 2019, does anyone think that's going to be a problem? I was renting a flat during that time period so I do have a tenancy agreement.

Can you please stick to this topic with all your questions?

In 2017, pre-Brexit I applied for a scheme that was available at the time called 'Permanent Residency' but was rejected because during the time I was a student I couldn't prove I had comprehensive sickness insurance, such as a European Health Insurance Card not issued by the UK, or comprehensive private medical insurance.

Does anyone know if this will be held against me when I apply for citizenship?

Thanks!

No, they won't if you since acquired pre-settled/settled status. Only need to mention it in your immigration applications.

@14923367, can you PLEASE keep your questions in one topic? I'll be merging them anyway, but it'll be easier for both of us to just do it right straight away.

No problem about the unemployment, but a tenancy agreement isn't an accepted document. Do you have council tax in your name for that period? Or did you receive a P60 when you started work in April?
