Hello, thanks for taking the time. I am an EU national residing in the UK for almost 5 years and now am about to be declared bankrupt because of financial problems. I also intend to apply for permanent residence in the next few months.
My question is what would the effect of bankruptcy be on my permanent residence application when I file for it? I need to get that status so as to be able to apply for British citizenship for my non-EEA family members citizenship in the future. Would bankruptcy have any impact on my citizenship process as we'll?
Thanks for responding, all advice and viewpoints are appreciated.

I have been looking at my options and since my debts are below 15K, I might go for a Debt Relief Order. How would that affect my prospects? Any help, information or advice is truly appreciated. Thanks.

Are you working, do you have a mortgage?

Bankruptcy will affect your ability to secure British Citizenship, but not Permanent Residence Certificate. That right is automatically acquired.

You non-EEA family member could secure British Citizenship independently of you.
