Hi

I have settled status(ILR) under the EU settlement scheme and was a part of an EU country(Ireland) for. Year and now I am member of a qualifying British citizen in UK.since I have got settled status under the EU settlement scheme and indefinite leave to remain I want to know is it possible if I could travel to eroupe for 3 or more months to stay before apply for British citizenship I mean will it be a problem if I got outside for 3 or 6 months before applying to eroupe?
Since I was a part of EU country(Ireland) before is it possible if I could travel eroupe visa free and stay there for like 6 months or more to live and work.

Don't tag your posts onto unrelated threads - continue here!

Naturalisation has it's separate requirements for absences - see the guidance:
https://www.gov.uk/government/publicati ... n-guidance

EUSS is a UK only status - it doesn't give you visa free stay in the EU if you are a visa national.

Travel is ok after you have submitted your application.

You need to post this query in the appropriate subforum for Schengen visa applications.
Regarding citizenship, you can apply after you've held settled status for a year. There is a limit of absences, max 90 days in the last 12 months of the qualifying period, so you can't leave for 6 months then return and apply for citizenship. I would advise to get the application approved first, then make plans to travel extensively AFTER you received your naturalisation certificate and UK passport.
