UK citizenship through marriage and residence in a BOT

Post by NelsonVG » Mon May 06, 2013 1:02 pm

Hypothetical:

(1) I am married to a UK citizen and living in a British Overseas Territory*, does my residence here with my UK citizen spouse count towards naturalising as a UK citizen?

(2) If the answer is yes to the above, how long must I live here?

(3) If my spouse was not a UK citizen when I married my spouse, would the "residency clock" only start to tick from when my spouse became a UK citizen (spouse is considering registering, not naturalising, as a UK citizen)?

(4) Separate question, does living in a British Overses Territory count as residence for becoming a naturalised UK citizen (for clarity, I am not referring to any other form of British citizenship).

*Not Cypriot Base Areas.

Many thanks.
