Becoming British 🇬🇧🇹🇼 | pros & cons of british citizenship & the UK passport

In this episode, I sat down with Judie, who moved to London from Taiwan 🇹🇼 13 years ago and has officially become a British citizen 🇬🇧 with dual citizenship and a British passport! She explains the full British citizenship process, including the Life in the UK Test, the citizenship ceremony, waiting for approval, and the unexpected rules you have to follow while your UK citizenship application is being processed. We also discuss the pros and cons of having a British passport, travelling as a British citizen vs not having UK citizenship, what surprised her most about becoming British, and the funny things nobody tells you before applying. Judie also reveals what she’ll genuinely miss now that she has a British passport… and it’s probably not what you’d expect! If you’re interested in moving to the UK, applying for British citizenship, getting a UK passport, life in London as a foreigner, or hearing real immigrant experiences in Britain, this episode is for you ❤️ Thank u for watching x 00:00 intro 01:28 what happens when you become a british citizen 02:10 pros vs cons of the british passport 05:46 the eurostar loophole 06:43 why you should avoid travelling during the process 06:57 rules to follow when applying for british citizenship 08:56 why physical passports still matter 09:45 entering the UK as a british citizen 11:24 surprising downside of leaving the airport on a british passport 13:14 what happens at a citizenship ceremony 16:25 benefits of becoming british 19:04 which passport next? the passport power move #movingtolondon #UKcitizenship
