Naturalisation - Non-EU spouse living in a different country

[apopa]

Hello,
I am wondering is anyone can help me with advice. I am a EU citizen and I am planning to apply for UK naturalisation and I had to specify the fact that I am married. However, my spouse does not live with me at the moment. He is completing his studies in his country. He is a Non-EU citizen. Do I have to justify in any way why we are living separately? I am applying alone at the moment, but I dont know how my situation will affect my chances of getting the citizenship.
Thank you.

Your marital arrangements as such are not a hindrance to your application, just state the facts as they are. One thing to remember though is that once you are a British citizen you may not be able to sponsor your spouse under EU regulation, and UK immigration laws may apply, with minimum earnings requirements, etc. The more experienced members/moderators will be able to clarify- this is a complex area.

Thank you so much for your reply. It worries me though that HO might question my intentions of making UK my home since my spouse is living in a different country. I have asked my spouse to provide me with a proof letter of his studies, however the institution he is attached to has refused issuing such a letter. I dont want to give HO any reasons to reject my application and for me to lose all that money.

You're overthinking this.

Should I attach any documents to the application, such as a declaration regarding my spouses's whereabouts or just mention I am married and he lives in a different country and just hope for the best? I have read through the boards and I haven't seen another situation such as mine. I have asked him to provide a signed declaration that he is a student in his home country at the moment and this is why we live separately.
I know I may overthink things, but knowing how HO reacts, just wanted to make sure I cover all scenarios and not give them any reason to reject my application.
Other than this, my application is quite straight forward. After completing my studies in UK, I have joined the company I currently work with and worked with them ever since. More than 5 years now.
