When/how can a Dutch National apply for British nationality?
Hi all
I am a Dutch National who has been living in the United Kingdom over 5 years now.
Since I have arrived in UK I have always worked and never applied for any benefit. I have also registered myself for citizenship card in 2007, which is valid for 5 years.
I was hoping if someone could help/guide me with the information how/when to apply for British Nationally?
Your help with this would be very much appreciated.
Many thanks for all your help in advance.

But as an EU citizen you are quite at liberty indefinately to live and work in the UK without taking citizenship.

If not, you may lose your Dutch citizenship upon becoming a British citizen, unless you fall into one of the few other exceptions for keeping Dutch citizenship upon acquisition of another.
Would that be a problem?

Second that, besides you cannot hold a Dutch nationality and a British one.The Dutch authorities do not like you having two nationalities. But if you already hold another nationality and become Dutch there is no problem in having two!

Do you perhaps know the right procedure for a Dutch National who has been in UK over 5 years to apply for British Nationally? such as what documents are required and if I have to do the citizenship test?
Really appreciate your help with this.
Thanks

The main exemption concerns spouses.

So inspector Clouseau you know your facts........One half is Dutch the other half has live with the other half for some years...get it?
I am confused by the accusation of the information I posted was incorrect..(or false as JAJ) says. I stated the following "Second that, besides you cannot hold a Dutch nationality and a British one.The Dutch authorities do not like you having two nationalities. But if you already hold another nationality and become Dutch there is no problem in having two!"
and JAJ says "If not, you may lose your Dutch citizenship upon becoming a British citizen, unless you fall into one of the few other exceptions for keeping Dutch citizenship upon acquisition of another."
I thought we said the same thing...you will loose your Dutch Nationality.

You have to try to do some of the work yourself
