Hello

I have Indian Passport and have recently got Spain visa to travel in last week of Dec 2024. I applied for British Citizenship(Naturalization) on October 4th and have oath ceremony in 27th of Nov 2024, I did not anticipate that I will get the decision early. Now the situation is, After oath ceremony I will apply for British Passport and I am not sure on which passport would I travel to Spain. Since after 27th Nov, I will be a British citizen and my current ILR BRP/eVisa will be void. Can someone please let me know what should I do?

Thanks

You need to apply for a British passport as soon as you get your certificate and travel with that. Your ILR/eVisa won't be valid anymore. You should have enough time to apply, standard processing times are 3 weeks.

Or schedule your ceremony for when you have returned.

That could also work provided you manage to attend a ceremony within 90 days of being accepted.
