Re: From belgium to the uk!Rly need help !
Your best bet would be to start here.
But i need to k'now how i can get the citizenship in less then 2years,
There are 53comonwealth countrys?I can still buy a citizenship... will cost max 15.000 pounds, but a Special force like the sas will not recruit someone whitout a background chek ...

Why don`t you join the Spetsnaz? They also go on suicidal missions to eliminate undesirables and take down terrorists etc.

Why not join the French Foreign Legion - they will take anyone, no questions asked.

I would hope they didn't take on anyone who had "bought" citizenship, that sounds pretty illegal and not the kind of people they would want. If you can get citizenship legally, get it and wait out the couple of years so they can do a background check. Doing things the fast way or illegal way will just come back and bite you in the arse.

My advice to you would be to look at the Foreign Legion, at least you do not have to buy a citizenship to join them.
Given your nationality and possible shortcut in buying your way in I doubt that you would be able to join the Army let alone a specialist force like the SAS.

Re: From belgium to the uk!Rly need help !
In order to apply to begin training for the SAS (or in fact many regiments) a potential recruit would need to have served a minimum of 3 years (possibly 6 years) in another British Army Regiment. If the application is successful and all security checks are completed (usually up to at least Top Secret level which generally requires citizenship of at least 10 years then an invitation to commence pre selection may be issued.

Its that, or its joining the delta force,
And please, the foreign legion is nothing for me ... If you would see me in real you would understand why ...
My dad was an SF in russia too(Before those stupid laws came that Kazachs cant join SFs) ... My condition is greatly , he trained me for 5years now in every athletic section ...

Re: From belgium to the uk!Rly need help !
I did many research, and the sas is a 'free to join SF" so it means that you may apply 1 max 2times (If you fail) for the selection, you may apply at any moment after you served 3years , well then i would mary a beautifull British girl and stay 3years whit her?

Yes it is a free to join specialist force but you still need to have served for the minimum period in ANOTHER British Army Regiment BEFORE qualifying to apply (e.g. 3 years in an infantry regiment then apply).
It makes no difference if you marry a British national!! That will not be a consideration!
In order to gain security cleareance up to the required level you will need to be a British national OR have held citizenship for at least 10 years , not buy your citizenship.
I understand that you feel the SAS is for you but first you will need to apply to become a serving member of the British Army ( I am unsure whether European Nationals are permitted to join).

Re: From belgium to the uk!Rly need help !
To get nationality here you have to have been working legally for six years. Then you can apply for a british passport. (as far as I am aware).
Then get in the army and then you move on up.... If your good enough.

Why can`t Kazakhs Join the Russian forces, is it because they`re muslims?
