What are the residency requirements for British citizenship?

IvanPetrov 4 Jul 2024

Applicants must have lived in the UK for at least 5 years (or 3 years if married to a British citizen), spent no more than 450 days outside the UK during this period, and not been absent for more than 90 days in the last year.
