Immigration – Naturalisation

Naturalisation is the process used to become a British citizen. As a British citizen you would enjoy a number of legal rights such as the right to live and work in the UK free of immigration controls as well as free movement throughout the European Economic Area (EEA).

It is essential that you have legal representation by specialist immigration solicitor to assist you with the process. We have specialist immigration solicitors who have a wealth of experience in dealing with Naturalisation applications.

The main routes to obtaining British Naturalisation are:
