Hello, I was wondering, what kind of responsibility one has (in relation to their home country) after receiving British citizenship. Do I have to notify them? Does UK government do it on my behalf? In my case, German citizen, received British by naturalization. What do I need to do in relation to Ge...

anyone had the same issue or heard of someone who has?

Check the booklet AN Requirements - it has quite a detailed list on how and when discretion is exercises with respect to the absences. The 600 days seem to be not a big deal if they are mostly work related, which should be obvious from your list of absences. The 120 days in the last year are possib...

Just to add to that: I am a German citizen and received my Permanent Residency Certificate last year.

Hi there, Quick question. My absences over the last 5 years are close to 600 days and around 125 in the last year. The main reason for those absences is my job, I am required to travel every other week to see clients abroad. I have done the same job with the same employer for over 5 years. Is this g...

Also be aware that the UKVI may update the application form in April 2017. Thank you very much for that, this is a good point. So I will need to refill the entire form in that case (or at least the updated pages). You might get a refund of £80 which covers the Citizenship Ceremony which you clearly...

Dear Char, Thank you very much for the quick reply. Just out of curiosity, what would happen with the application fee? I would simply lose the 1200 GBP? And final question: since I have completed all the paperwork, can I just wait 6 months and send it then? Or would the date (December 2016) on the p...
