I am a Polish citizen who has lived in the UK for over a dozen years, I have been long eligible to apply for British citizenship (after 5 years of living there) but me and my parents never applied for uk citizenship when I was under 18 (which was cheaper). Now I have been thinking whether it is worth it, everyone tells me it is as I could use it as an investment and not worry about visas to places like USA.
The problem has always been cost, now after brexit the price of me getting a passport is around £1282, this used to be a bit cheaper before brexit but my point is that me and my family don't have much money. I only have a mere £2K in my own savings and I am wondering if I should invest in becoming a British citizen. I have English residency so I can legally stay here for pretty much forever, my Polish european passport isn't the worst to have plus I would love to get out the UK permanently in the next 5 years so is it really worth investing in dual nationality? How important is it to hold a strong passport for the future and what kind of benefits will it give me?
