Then when is the ceremony? After/before getting passport?

After naturalisation, before passport

Normally 5year work permit toward ILR is straightforward so ALL THE BEST

And if high commission has permitted this, and this is a norm then you wont have any troubles entering the country

What Is your immigration history? Are you eligible to apply for naturalisation straightaway?

Thanks for your quick reply. I have a further question. My absence of more than 90 days was when I was under the HSMP. I was not working during the 93 days, because I was waiting for my job in the UK to start. Do you have an idea of whether I need to be employed during the time I was away? I didn't...
