3. Introduction of British immigrants' naturalization and permanent residence

However, many immigrants from Chinese mainland have been in a dilemma on the issue of "naturalization". According to the laws of China, citizens are not allowed to have dual citizenship. After obtaining British citizenship, although you can enjoy welfare and travel around the world, there are restrictions on returning to China to visit relatives and stay for a long time. Therefore, many people choose to stay permanently and keep their China passports to "leave a way out" for the future.

However, many immigrants from Chinese mainland are always in a dilemma on the issue of "naturalization".

China law stipulates that citizens cannot have dual nationality. After obtaining British citizenship, although you can enjoy welfare and travel around the world, there are restrictions on returning to China to visit relatives and stay for a long time. Therefore, many people choose to stay permanently and keep their China passports to "leave a way out" for the future.

According to the new law, all foreigners who have not obtained permanent residency or British nationality are temporary residents. Among the holders of temporary residence visas, there are three types of visas that can further apply to become permanent residents or join British nationality: those who temporarily stay in the UK due to work factors are mainly composed of immigrants who apply for the first level (high-tech immigrants, investment immigrants or entrepreneurs) and the second level (skilled workers) according to the scoring system; Temporary residence in the UK for family reasons, and their close relatives have obtained permanent residency or British citizenship; People in need of asylum and their families

At present, British work visa holders can apply for permanent residence after working for five years.

The second type of family immigrants need to live in the UK for two years before they can apply for permanent residence.

If temporary residents need to apply for permanent residence or British citizenship, they must first apply for "preparatory citizenship". During the probation period, the applicant does not enjoy permanent residency or all the benefits of British citizens. Refugees and people temporarily living in Britain under the protection of human rights are not allowed to receive government benefits during the probation period and must be self-sufficient.

During the probation period, the applicant must meet the basic requirements of becoming a British citizen, such as continuous work, stable family relationship, abiding by the law, knowledge of English and basic knowledge of living in Britain (that is, passing the British life test). In addition, the new law also stipulates some factors that can give applicants extra points, such as potential income, special arts, scientific and literary talents, educational background, industries in short supply, English proficiency and living in areas with immigration needs (such as Scotland).

Applicants who actively participate in community service and volunteer work can issue certificates of relevant activities or work participation. Although this project is not included in the score of naturalization application, it can shorten the time limit for applying for British citizenship-that is, if the applicant can prove that he actively integrates into British society, serves the community and participates in local activities during his internship, he can apply for naturalization as early as one year later. In other words, it takes eight years for high-tech immigrants to become British citizens, but now it is possible to complete it within six years, and the naturalization of relatives has been reduced from five years to three years.

If the applicant does not want to become a British citizen, he must have a probation period of at least three years before applying for permanent residence.

In addition, naturalization applicants who fail to achieve the required score to become British citizens during the internship period will automatically become permanent residents after the internship expires. The longest probation period is five years.

According to the new law, in order to obtain permanent residence, applicants need to spend a longer time in "immigration detention", instead of automatically applying for permanent residence after the expiration of the employment visa, refugee visa or family reunion visa stipulated by the current law. In addition, the new law also stipulates that anyone who applies for permanent residence or naturalization must pass the British life test during the probation period, and those who choose naturalization must pass more complicated British humanities and political tests before they can obtain British citizenship. But accelerating the acquisition of British citizenship is not good for most immigrants from Chinese mainland. Since China citizens are not allowed to have dual citizenship, most immigrants from Chinese mainland to Britain tend to choose permanent residency.
