Attending Ceremony from abroad.

Post by ric1982 » Tue Aug 28, 2012 3:48 pm

After receiving the invitation letter from UKBA (after successful application), is it possible to attend the naturalisation ceremoeny from outside UK? or you have to do this in UK? If not is there another way to get the naturalisation process complete from while abroad?

I think the answers to your questions, in order, are no, yes and no.

Others may correct me.

I just found the answer on UKBA website. Its yes you can do this from abroad.

"...If you are abroad, the ceremony will be conducted by the diplomatic post in the country where you live."

It was just out of interest though :)

This is for cases in which the applicant applied from abroad (where he lives). He is not expected to travel to the UK for the ceremony.

It is not applicable if you applied from the UK unless you are married to a BC and left the UK permanently. See similar question - transfer ceremony abroad.
