Requirements to become a British Citizen
I found some information on the requirements to become a British Citizen:
Foreign nationals may apply for certificates of naturalisation. This also applies to Commonwealth citizens and Irish citizens.
Applicants must:
- have lived legally in the United Kingdom for five years (the last year should have been free of any time limit);
- be 18 or over
- not be of unsound mind;
- be of good character;
- have sufficient knowledge of English, Welsh or Scottish Gaelic (depending on their age and physical and mental condition); and
- stay closely connected with the United Kingdom.
