British Citizenship

There are many reasons why someone might want to become a British citizen. For some, it is a way to solidify their ties to the United Kingdom, whether they are of British descent or not. For others, it is a way to take advantage of the benefits that citizenship offers, such as the right to live and work in the UK without immigration control.

The British passport is one of the most powerful passports in the world with 139 visa-free travel countries, 7 countries where travel authorisation is obtained online and 38 countries where you will be granted a visa upon arrival.

Whatever the reason, there are a few things that all prospective British citizens need to know.

The first is that, unlike many other countries, there is no such thing as automatic citizenship simply by being born on British soil. In order to become a citizen, you will need to go through a formal application process.
