Help with British Citizenship application for a self-employed person
Posted: Sat Dec 06, 2025 7:05 pm
Hi everyone, I hope you’re all well.
I’m currently in the process of completing my British citizenship application. I was granted ILR in November 2024. Since then, I’ve transitioned into self-employment by setting up my own limited company. I’m the director of the company and I pay myself a monthly director’s salary.
My question is: on the application, should I tick both “company director” and “self-employed”?
Also, my company has only just reached 12 months, so my first set of accounts isn’t due yet. I’ve read online that self-employed applicants need to provide a Self Assessment tax return summary. As a newly established limited company director, I’m unsure what exactly I need to submit at this stage.
If anyone has been in a similar situation, I’d really appreciate your guidance.
Thank you!
