1- valid passport
2- previous passport ( all pages )

4-national ID card
5-life in the uk test
6-B1 English exam Grade 5
7-2 referees
8- previous 5 years tax return or
If you employe only p60
( I uploaded only 5 years tax returns )
9- consent letter
That’s enough to become a British citizen ..
good luck Everyone
These are basic requirements. But the ones I have presented in this vlog are the documents I submitted. Since it took me years to get to this point it is imperative to get all documents all complete. You don’t want for questions asked and you want to submit everything that will prove your legal stay in UK. 😉
what is consent letter?
Thanks mate. However, you should tell people it depends on their personal circumstances. No everyone has to provide these documents. The Home Office goes on case by case. stop miss leading people. Your Financial situation will not have an impact on your application. Otherwise, people on benefits would never get citizenship. If you think providing more details will back your case up, then fill free to do it. But do not get miss-led with the information from someone who is not a qualified adviser. You do not need 15 documents.
All you need is One proof of ID, proof address and a well filled in application form including photos and two referees. You also need life in the UK test and the proof of English test. No need to try and gather all these 15 documents. If this was your case, not everyone is in the same situation.
I totally understand your point but I am not trying to mislead people. The decision of the Home Office varies in each applicant. This is not trying to mislead people but giving people information on how they can successfully get their citizenship. I’d rather send complete documents to support my application that just proving the basics. It pays for someone to have thorough documentation to really seal the application’s approval. These information has helped a lot of applicants and I have helped many of my good friends who are already British. And if talking about credibility, I have been doing all my applications on my own since I came here in the UK in my own research and understanding.
Otherwise thank you for your comments.
@@itKENbeyouradventures thanks for your reply mate. I’m not against what you are doing but my advise to you would be for you to specify the fact that it worked in your case instead of just insisting that people need 15 documents. Another thing I would like to suggest to you is to tell people clearly that you are just providing information based on your experience and that you are not an immigration Lawyer or Solicitor. In that way, you are covering your back. Thanks
@@carlyisaacm.9447 thank you for that 😉
I don’t mind Life in the UK test anymore because I am very stressed about finding two referees which need to have professional title.
Love your videos
Thank you very very much for your support! I will keep on producing informative and fun vlogs in my channel! You are one of the reasons why I do the things I do!
Thank you so much for this tips. Do you have any recommendations about immigration solicitor can assist to submit application for citizenship ?
There are a lot out there but all my visa applications I did on my own! Some of the immigration solicitors will actually charge way too much so what I did I really researched how to do it and that is why this vlog is born!

As you know for the life in UK test - We only have the reference Number of the the test. when we past the test they dont give us a document its just a number. how do I upload it??
That is a great question, in the new guidelines it is only the reference number so what you will do is to print the email sent to you bearing the reference number and have it as a document attachment on your application. Thank you so much!
Don’t forget to subscribe to my channel for more! I have received my citizenship approval after two months from application! So way to go for you!
What's the name of the song at the very beginning of the video. 0:05-0:18
Great video! Thank you and wish you best of luck! I apply in January ‘21 and still waiting for answer :) as my support documents (7years) I give bank statements, P60 and P45, payslips, all letters from my GP, letters from work, all my diploma and certificates, all bills ( gas, mobile phone, c.tax) all letters from HR) in total was 2kg documents. Waiting time is killing me, but I hope for the best :)
Wow! That is so amazing! I would not leave a single stone untarnished as they say! It’s better to be good than to be sorry isn’t it! God bless on your application and hope both our applications will be approved! Thank you!
Don’t forget to subscribe to my channel! Thank you so much!
Hey have you received answer??
Have you received answers
my father was born and raised in london, he automatically obtained British citizenship by birth (1972), when my brothers and I were born he was already naturalized and citizen of the united kingdom, could we have citizenship?
Yes it can be!
British citizenship is normally automatically passed down one generation to children born outside the UK. For example, you might automatically become a citizen if you're born outside the UK to a British parent. But your children will not automatically be citizens if they're born outside the UK.
I hope I have answered your question! Don’t forget to subscribe to my channel! Thank you so much!
Hello thanks for this.
I submitted the following
Old and current passport
Current BRP
IELTS (used for my professional registration as a nurse)
2 X Referree forms
Yes these documents are also equally good for the application. I included some other documents to strengthen my application. There’s nothing wrong with presenting evidences that will give the Home Office an idea that this applicant is eligible for the application.
Hi, me and my 2 doughters already have a british citizens passport,we went to uk in 2009 and retured to h.k in mid of 2010 since then we haven't go back to uk for entry purpose,but now we are planing to go back uk for my childrens study,will there be any problems ? Are we still eligible to get all the facilities that uk resisdents used to get,Like free schooling,college univercity and Gp services?pls advice.
Yes, I believe you are all still eligible for it as you are still British. You just need to re-register everything once you get back to the UK. Hope this one helps!

@@itKENbeyouradventures Thank you much,I will suscribe.
Thank you! I’m going through the same process. Did you translate your birth certificate to English ? Thank you
My birth certificate is already in English but it is best that it should be certified and translated to English! Thank you so much!
Hope you subscribe to my channel for more!
@@itKENbeyouradventures oh that’s great. Thank you for your help! I have been your subscriber since last year . Amazing content
@@itKENbeyouradventures : Hey what if only my first name exists on my birth certificate. I use my fathers name as my surname. How do I explain it?
@@user-jc9nv6lj9u best is not to include your birth certificate. This is an additional document that can be included or not. So as not to have issues do not include this one.
@@itKENbeyouradventures : ok. Thanks.
Nice one
Thank you very much! Hope you have learned something great about it and if you have a plan to apply God bless on that!

Hello Ken. Is it ok if i apply for the naturalisation after 6 months of getting my ILR. Waiting for your answer.
Based on the guidelines of the Home Office it should be one year of being an ILR in order for you to be eligible to apply for naturalisation.
Thank you so much! Don’t forget to subscribe to my channel for more!
@@itKENbeyouradventures Thank you so much for your guideline
Very good information. If I get 10 years work history from HMRC. IS A GOOD???
Yes defo, they will provide that one for you as they keep a record of it!
Don’t forget to subscribe to my channel for more! Thank you!
Hello Ken, you didn’t mention bank statements so you didn’t submit any bank statements? How about spouse of British citizens same requirements as yours? Thank you
The bank statements actually are not part of the essential requirements to pass as the Home Office is not so concerned about your expenses or what unless if you apply for the ILR then it is needed as they need to see the salary you earn to reflect in your bank account. With regards to the spouse of the British citizen I would say yes the same. You need all these requirements as I far as I am concerned. Thank you so much!

Hi, I dont have my BRP card, but i do have a Resident Permit stamp on my passport. Is that ok?
Thank you for this one. I wanted to ask if ever why you have not been released a BRP card? And also this stamp on the passport is valid for as long as it is Indefinite Leave to Remain visa category. Thank you!

@@itKENbeyouradventures Hi, I got my ILR on 2010. I assume that BRP only launched on 2015. The stamp on my passport doesnt have any expiry date and it is ILR. Can i still apply for the citizenship or i need to apply for BRP first?
@@starfly3r hmm thank you for giving me the information coz normally ILR is valid for 5 years and needed to be renewed. Are you currently within the UK? If that is so, you have to contact Home Office as it is something I have not heard before. Thank you.
Hello i need my employment history but i cant remember . How can i find? Can u help me please
So here is the link for you to request your employment history from HMRC:
www.gov.uk/get-proof-employment-history
All the instructions are in that link! Hope this one helps you!

Hello
Please explain to me how to prove that I live and work in the UK for the last 5 years? What evidence I need? And how to proof my nationality? Thank you
So your certificate of employment will be one for all your employers from the last five years, p60s, income tax returns, letter from home office detailing your employment history, bank statements, payslips. With your proof of nationality it is your passport, if you have national identity card you can have it as well. God bless on your endeavour!

@@itKENbeyouradventures thank you for your answer! Is "evidence that I have been in the UK lawfully for the last 5 years as a worker" and "proof of living in the UK for the last 5 years" the same thing and can prove them both with letter from HMRC with all my employment history? Because on my document checklist they are two different things. And if so, how can I prove that I lived in the UK for the last 5 years?
Hi sir ken what do you mean po sa absences? Outside Uk po ba?
These absences are the days that you were out of the UK. So basically those that you filed as your annual leave or vacation leave and you left UK and then you can attach your stamped pages of the passport as proof.
How can you find two referees with professional title ?
People are shy about sharing their full details just to be your referee
Now, referees can be someone who you worked with, your manager at work for instance.
Your referees should include: a person who has 'professional standing' - for example, a civil servant of any nationality. a person who is a British passport holder and either has professional standing or is over the age of 25.
Hope this one helps! ✨

@@itKENbeyouradventures yes it helped thank you. I know already two professionals to ask but the thing is if they will be helpful and accept or not.
So di na bo need yung birth certificate ng parents sa pinas?
No need na po for that. They will ask for the details of your parents and where they were and date of birth.
Hello, really useful vid. May I ask you a question? I live here for 5 years and I just got my definite leave to remain. I’m going going to apply for citizenship but I never work in uk. I don’t have any documents like p60 or payslips. Can I still apply for citizenship? Many thanks 😊
Thank you so much for this one! So basically the most important fulfillment of the British citizenship is you have lived here for more than five years and has an ILR status for a year and you are eligible. The work experience is a way to strengthen your application.
To apply for citizenship with permanent residence status you must usually have lived in the UK for 12 months after getting permanent residence status. You also need a permanent residence document that proves you've lived in the UK for 5 years - this can be any 5 year period.
But you can always ask for an employment history from HMRC since you arrived here in the UK as they keep a record of your employment since you came prior to having the ILR.

@@itKENbeyouradventures many thanks 🙏 😊. May I follow you in instagram? I have more questions about citizenship.🙂🙏
Yes you can! And also in youtube! Thank you!
@@itKENbeyouradventures I already subscribed your channel and watched you vids 😊
OMG! I see Juan Carlos!
Colleague at my current trust!
Are you serious!? That is great to hear! I hope you like the vlog and also don’t forget to share and subscribe to my channel! 😊
Great to know you know my brother! Hahaha!
❤️
Thank you so much for supporting me on my channel!
Please change the name of this video because these documents are only relevant for ASIAN applicants. I'm from the EU so I don't need to provide at least half of these things - never required visa, stamps on my passport etc. I studied in London so don't need IELTS or B1. The referees must know you for at lest 3+ years, not 2. There;s lots of INCORRECT information you provide!
I do understand your sentiments but these documents have made not only applications successful but a lot of other applications successful and so I would not say that this vlog is not informative and not correct as I have already got my BRITISH PASSPORT. If ever there are documents not applicable to you then you can omit them but to say that information is incorrect is totally not true as I have sent all these documents in Home Office and I was granted a decision after only two months. 😉
Thank you!
Maybe being a bit less verbose would have helped otherwise thanks was useful
Thank you for that suggestion. I would want to share as much information as it is crucial in the application but otherwise thank you so much!

No need all this documents, maximum need 5 documents .period!!!!
We have different experiences. What we wanted in to ensure that one have a successful application. So better be safe than sorry. 😊
You are telling not true u don’t need a pay slip 😂😂
You still need a pay slip. I have already received my citizenship for more than a year and have helped a lot of people get theirs in their application.
