If you intend to apply for naturalisation in your own right, you may do as and when you fulfil the standard requirements.
If you intend to apply for naturalisation as spouse of a British citizen, you may do so as and when you fulfil the requirements for spouses and civil partners.

Thanks for the reply i want to ask you if i am eligble to apply for naturlisation because someone was telling me that you have stayed out of united kingdom in your 5 years period maybe they will refuse your application but i have now completed 6 years in the uk.
