If you weren't born a British citizen, there are many ways to acquire it. The most typical method is known as naturalization. If you are at least 18 years old, are of good moral character, have no significant criminal history, and plan to remain in the UK for the required amount of time, you may be able to apply for naturalization. Along with passing the "Life in the UK" test, you had to have demonstrated your proficiency in English during the application procedure.

 

In most situations, you also need to have resided in the UK for at least five years before the date of your application and haven't traveled abroad more than 450 days during that time. You must also have spent no more than 90 days outside the UK in the 12 months before submitting your application. If you are an EEA national, you must have had permanent residency for the previous 12 months and be able to submit proof of permanent residency with your citizenship application.

You must have been settled (also known as having "indefinite permission to remain") in the UK for at least a year if you are from outside the European Economic Area (EEA). And you must never have violated any UK immigration regulations.
