## Stages
– Visa → ILR → Citizenship (naturalisation/registration).
## Time & absences
– Track qualifying years and absence limits; keep a travel log.
## Tests
– Life in the UK + English (if required) booked early.
## Evidence pack
– CoS/BRP/passport history, addresses, employment/earnings, proof of residence.
## Avoid gaps
– Apply early; watch BRP expiry; move to digital status in time.
