Risks & important considerations
Residence and absences
Naturalisation has its own residence and travel tests. ILR or settled status does not remove the need to meet them.
Good character
Immigration breaches, criminal matters or inaccurate declarations can affect the application. Review relevant history carefully.
Language and tests
English-language and Life in the UK requirements commonly apply unless an exemption is available. Check accepted evidence before filing.
