According to a draft agreement previously released by the EU and the UK regarding arrangements for the Brexit transition period, any citizen of an EU country could legally relocate to the UK before December 31, 2020, and obtain a British passport after meeting specific requirements. So, how does one transition from an EU passport to a British passport?
In simple terms, the criteria are:
1. Live in the UK for 5 years, during which time absences from the UK must not exceed 90 days;
2. Pass a test on British customs and traditions;
3. Demonstrate English language proficiency.
As a major trading entity, economic powerhouse, and financial hub, the UK is the world’s sixth-largest economy and one of the wealthiest and most developed countries with a high standard of living. At the same time, the UK is home to some of the world’s best and most authentic education systems. These factors deeply attract people. However, currently, the UK investment immigration program requires an investment of £2 million for 5 years, a sum that deters many families.
If you think carefully, by first obtaining an EU passport through an immigration program to an EU country and then settling in the UK, you can not only meet the requirements for UK immigration but also avoid the issue of losing access to the vast EU market or being unable to settle in other EU countries later on. Furthermore, the cost is lower than £2 million, making an EU passport a more cost-effective choice!
