Citizenship Application - Overstayed in the Past

Post by Kazlee » Sun Mar 16, 2025 7:57 pm

I have got the settled status approved today. I have overstayed between 2015-2019.

My wife is both British and French. Will Overstay become a problem if I apply for British Citizenship now ?

Do you have any other factors against your good character? Eg fines, driving tickets?

Then it shouldn't be a problem, but do review the Good Character guidance anyway. https://assets.publishing.service.gov.u ... racter.pdf
