I was very happy to hear that the UK Government introduced compulsory English tests for everyone applying for British Nationality.BULLDOG69 wrote:Hello Everyone..
have got British Passport since then. 3 years before I got married to the girl in India and have 2 childrens so far.
After 1 year on ILR they can apply for naturalisation1) How long they have to stay here to get the British Passport/Citizenship?
As a matter of course. But why do you need British Nationality, then?2) I am planning to move to Australia for good. Do I need any other visa requirement for that.
Not sure what your point is here? Don't see where the OP has asked about English tests? Additionally there are no compulsory English tests when applying for British Nationality (and as far as I can recall there never has been). You do now have to demonstrate knowledge of life in the UK and you do this by writing an exam.I was very happy to hear that the UK Government introduced compulsory English tests for everyone applying for British Nationality.

Let's just clarify this. There are now just two routes :-There absolutely is, however there were a number of ways to prove this,
- writing and passing an ESOL exam
- getting somone on a preapproved list (solicitor was one of them) to certify that you english is sufficient
- giving proof that your education was carried out in English (usually by providing a copy of your graduation certificates)
Now by writing and passing the knowledge of life in the UK you automatically prove that your English is up to scratch. But AFAIK there are no specific questions that test your mastery of the English language.
That is actually not quite right! One of the two documents listed above needs to be supplied ..... by those applying for Naturalisation as British.I was very happy to hear that the UK Government introduced compulsory English tests for everyone applying for British Nationality.
I have just had a re-read of this topic, and feel the need to correct the above. This is because the wife of Bulldog69 is married to a British Citizen .... namely Bulldog69!Quote:
