How much total time does it take on TierOne visa or TierTwo visa to apply for UK citizenship and obtain UK passport?

formula

I doubt anyone will be able to answer that.

This government decided to close the UK open door immigration policy and follow the lead of other western countries, by applying immigration controls.

Tier 1: was closed in December last year.

Tier 2: you will need to find a Tier 2 sponsor in the UK. No one can tell you what will happen in the future regarding the length of time on this visa to a UK passport; except the government have said they want to break the link between temporary visas and citizenship and that they are committed to reducing immigration numbers from the hundreds of thousands a year they have now, back to tens of thousands they had in the 90s.

New rules too for those immigrants that have criminal convictions (including some motoring convictions): those that owe the NHS money (pay what you owe or you have no right to enter or stay in the UK): reduction in access to Legal Aid (tighter restrictions on who can claim, to reduce the massive legal aid bill to taxpayers).

More immigration rules due out today for international students (tier 4) and other student routes (Tier 1 PSW).
