In reality, I'd been meaning to do it for a long time

because I just wanted to be able to vote in the country.

And it's taken me a long while to save the money

and get my act together to apply for citizenship.

But two years ago, I just thought, it's now or never.

The first thing I did was to obtain permanent residence.

In total, I provided five years of evidence.

In truth, I've been living here for many more years.

And then within a year of obtaining this,

loads of stuff that would have been really useful.

So it was a bit of a quest to put together

Work contracts, tenancy agreements, bills, council tax,

bank statements, P45s, P60s, certificates from universities,

and then if anything is missing, you just have to be creative.

That's probably the gourmet burger in Greenwich.

And so the residence was a bit difficult to prove.

So I had to go back to Greenwich, speak to the GP,

get a letter from the council to prove that I had voted.

And at one point I remember thinking that actually my cat

was better - had more evidence - more documents

Because she'd been registered at the same vet since 2009

I mean, the council isn't too far from here.

So I think I can just put it in a trolley and just carry it.

And it took them about one month to send me everything,

So after being officially recognised as resident,

I decided to apply to become a British national online.

Basically, it asks you to repeat all the information

that you've provided, where you've worked, where you've

your permanent residence card number, load

the details of your documents, your parents, whether you've

had any convictions, whether you have ever been involved,

supported, or encouraged terrorist activities,

or whether you've committed any crimes against humanity -

At least one of them has to hold a British passport

like a doctor, or an accountant, or a civil servant.

that you've visited in the past five years.

I went on Instagram to check where I have posted.

Citizenship application through selfies on Instagram.

Of course, you can't become a UK national

unless you've passed the Life in the UK test.

The answers can also be a bit outdated, or even factually

I work with statistics, so I know that nearly half

of the population doesn't belong to a religion,

per cent of the population has at least one grandparent

At last count, it was actually 25 per cent,

I obviously know that a quintessential trait of a Brit

is to laugh at themselves rather than have fish and chips

And it cost me £1,350 because it includes the cost

of the ceremony, even though I haven't actually been accepted

So the next step is to book an appointment at this UK Visa

Previously, you used to be able to go to your local council
