English citizenship is considered one of the most prestigious: having a British passport, you can live and work without restrictions throughout Europe, travel visa-free across most countries and enjoy various social and tax benefits.
Instructions
Step 1
Immigrate to the UK with one of the visas and live there for 6 years. By fulfilling this condition, you will be eligible for permanent residence. Your passport will be stamped no time limit, meaning that there are no restrictions on your stay in the country. After a year, you will be able to apply for British citizenship. To do this, you will need to provide confirmation that you have no mental illness, violations of the country's legislation, have sufficient language knowledge, express a desire to live in the country and maintain contacts with it.
Step 2
Live in the UK for five years without leaving the country for more than 15 months and without breaking immigration rules, and learn English. During the fifth year of residence in the country, do not leave the country for more than 90 days. In the same year, you will need to obtain a permanent residence permit. If these conditions are met, you will be able to obtain citizenship by going through the naturalization procedure.
Step 3
Marry a British citizen and live in the country for three years. During this period, do not leave the country for more than 270 days. During the third year, do not leave the UK for more than 90 days. During the entire three-year period, do not violate immigration rules. Before applying for the naturalization procedure, you will receive a permanent residence permit.
Step 4
Obtain British citizenship so that your children are also considered British citizens. A child is eligible for English citizenship if his father or mother is British nationals. If one of the parents has the right to permanent residence, the child can obtain citizenship when he turns 18. Children who have lived in the first ten years of their life in the UK are also eligible for English citizenship.
