Hi All,

I've been reading this forum for a while but I could't get a definite answer to my question. Hopefully, somebody could help me here.

I am an EU citizen who obtained A Document Certifying Permanent Residence (PR card) in October, 2010. Now, I am looking to apply for a UK citizenship. My question is:

Are the following documents sufficient to support my AN application?

1. My passport;
2. PR card;
3. Knowledge of language and life test (with B1 English requirement),

Do I need to prove following residential requirements for the last 5 years as well?

1. Been present in the UK five years before the date of your application; and
2. Not spent more than 450 days outside the UK during the five-year period; and
3. Not spent more than 90 days outside the UK in the last 12 months of the five-year period; and

Will the bank statements and utility bills be enough to prove it?

Thank you for any of your advice and help!

G.

You will also need to satisfy the new English B1 level requirement.

Wouldn't your passport be able to prove all 3 things you've listed?

since my passport hasn't got any entry or leave UK stamps (EU passport), I think that the residential requirement for the last 5 years (from the date my application be submitted) has to be shown as well?? Maybe I am completely wrong though.....

Sometimes the caseworker would ask for additional evidence of residence but normally this is not required and I would not bother to provide one.
