Following that you would need to apply for British passport, then attend the passport interview.
Everything takes time and money these days
With luck on your side you could expect that holiday August/September


Good luck.

PS Even applications for a Schenghen visa can take time and cause stresses.

... ...well, it's entirely your choice. But ... as I've ALSO already pointed out ... it can be a bit of a hassle and, for the sake of a few months, surely it's worth waiting a little longer.

Besides, holidays in European countries don't come cheap - in spite of there being no charge for the Schengen Visa itself - and you would want to have adequate spending money while abroad.

Let's face it, you'll have to lay aside sufficient funds to cover the price involved [roughly £1,000] in applying for Citizenship.
