British citizenship takes years. Belong UK keeps the count honest, from today to the day you can apply.
Answer a few questions and Belong UK shows your real distance to Indefinite Leave to Remain and then citizenship: which route applies, what you have met and what still stands in the way
YOUR ROUTE, CLEARLY
The five year Skilled Worker route, the five year partner route and ten year long residence, each leading to ILR and then citizenship
Married to a British citizen? Citizenship after three years in the UK, with no 12 month wait after ILR, and Belong UK counts it that way
Every requirement explained: residence, ILR, English at B1, the Life in the UK test, the financial requirement and good character, sourced from the Immigration Rules, the British Nationality Act and GOV.UK. Rules as of September 2026
THE PASSPORT AT THE END
The document your road leads to, on its own tab: the real cover in colour, with validity, fee, where to apply and dual citizenship, checked with GOV.UK
Add your name and photo and it carries them as the holder's, with a line saying the earliest you could apply
TRAIN FOR THE REAL TEST
464 questions for the Life in the UK test, filed under the official handbook's five chapters in the Home Office's own order, five a day, with a mistakes deck and a progress screen
The full mock is the real thing: 24 questions in 45 minutes, pass or fail at 18, because the real sitting draws from the handbook this app writes from
Written by Belong UK from that handbook, not by the Home Office, and each one checked by a second reader. One pass covers both ILR and citizenship
WHAT'S COMING
The dates ahead, on your dashboard: your ILR date, the 12 months after, a document about to expire. Optional alerts, a few a year
YOUR DOCUMENTS, ON YOUR IPHONE
Attach the evidence for each requirement, a certificate, a permit, a payslip, with its expiry date. Documents stay on this iPhone, encrypted by iOS while it is locked and kept out of your backup. Belong UK never uploads them and never sees them
TRACK WHAT MATTERS
Log trips abroad against continuous residence. ILR allows at most 180 days outside the UK in any rolling 12 months, and one long stretch echoes through a year of windows
Citizenship keeps its own count, 450 days over five years and 90 in the final year, and the app watches that as well
Try a What if scenario and see how a decision would move your finish line. Real rules, nothing saved
WHAT YOU CONTROL, WHAT YOU DON'T
The years you build, the tests you pass and the record you keep are yours. The Home Office queue is not: ILR and naturalisation are usually decided within six months, and priority services can cut ILR to days
THE RULES ARE MOVING
The government has confirmed it intends to move standard settlement from five years to ten. It is not law yet and transitional protection is undecided. Applications made from 26 March 2027 will need English at B2 instead of B1. Belong UK computes on the rules in force and flags what could shift
NEWS FROM THE OFFICIAL SOURCE
