Hi All,
I have a question and am hoping someone can help me out or point me in the right direction. Any help will be much appreciated.
I am currently 20 years old and came to the UK when I was 9. I have been living in the UK for the last 11 years and am a German citizen. The problem is that I plan to get a British Citizenship within the next couple of years but I haven't got a Residence Permit?
From what I've read and understand is that I don't even need a Residence Permit to live here in the UK simply because of the EU Treaty rights which allow EU nationals to move freely within the EU state.
The main question is, Is it really compulsary for me to acquire a Residence Permit in order for me to get British Citizenship?
Can I not directly apply for British Citizenship now by proving that I've lived here for the last 11 years or is it really necessary to get a Residence Permit? I mean even on the form that I looked at it said it's not compulsary to get a Residence Permit because of the EU Treaty rights!
Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks.
