No - you have to live there for about 5 years to be able to apply.
Possibly.
Merely being married to a British citizen does not entitle you to British citizenship.

You need to be resident in the UK for at least five years (and crucially resident means on non-visit visas), qualify for ILR (the equivalent of permanent residence in the EU) and then apply for British citizenship.
You also need to meet other requirements; absences under certain thresholds in the five years, three years and year immediatly before applying for naturalisation as a British citizen, English language and Life In the UK (LITUK) tests.
If you move to the UK as the spouse of a British citizen, your British citizen spouse needs to earn more than £18,600 (£29,000 after April 2024) per annum to be able to sponsor you. Just being a British citizen is not enough to be able to sponsor their non-British spouse to the UK.
Did your British citizen spouse move to the EU before 31st December 2020? And were the two of you married before that date?
Not meeting up requirement and the intention to continues stay not there at the moment.hyperduck wrote: ↑Mon Jan 08, 2024 7:53 amsecret.simon wrote: ↑Thu Jan 04, 2024 5:46 pmMerely being married to a British citizen does not entitle you to British citizenship.

Are there no possibilities given the fact neither of us have intentions to living in the UK as of now?
No, moved and married after December 2020 in the EU.
No.
No there is not.Is there any other type of visa I could apply for apart from the standard visitor visa?
Unless they apply as the spouse of a British citizen under Section 6(2). However, ILR and residence requirements apply.secret.simon wrote: ↑Mon Jan 08, 2024 11:16 pmNo.
One of the requirements is literally the intention to reside in the UK
In theory that still requires physical present in the UK for the 3 & 5 years route.
That is correct. You still need residence in the UK for at least five years to get ILR, even as the spouse of a British citizen.
