Visa rules - before and after Brexit.

Image
We have decided to sum up the Government Brexit visa proposals, that is what they disclosed so far.   We were prompted to make this table by a recent Daily Mail article    EU citizens until 31.12.2020 (based on Government publication here) Non-EU citizens now (based on current Immigration Rules under Points-Based System) EU and non-EU citizens after 31.12.2018 (based on the proposals so far) Who can come and work in the UK? Skilled and unskilled workers Can come and work in the UK without restrictions.

When to apply for British Citizenship?

  It’s the ultimate goal for any foreign citizen coming to the UK – the British passport! The journey may take time and money but it is well worth it! You may be just at the beginning of your ‘journey’, such as having your 1 st  UK visa, or you may be already on the way to Indefinite Leave. It is never too early to find out your rights and make a plan for the future. Here is our short 5-point summary to get you started. #1 Spouses of British citizens: The process is initial Spouse visa (30 or 33 months), then extension for further 30 months, then permanent residency after 5 years. You can apply for British Citizenship straight after that. Most common mistake: applying after 3 years of residency in the UK. #2 European citizens and family members: Firstly, you need to acquire a permanent residency status, usually after 5 years in the UK. Then you can apply for Citizenship 1 year after you have qualified for the PR. Even if your PR document was issued
