Permanent Resident Question??

[YorkshirePuddin]

After 12 months of PR you'll normally be eligible for application of a UK passport

So Terpe, just confirming.... are you saying that if my Filipino wife gets permanent residency after a year she would be able to apply for a UK passport and can travel as UK citizens can? even before getting citizenship? sorry for the stoopid question...just clarifying! thanks!

No

She would need to apply for Naturalisation as a British Citizen first.
Once she becomes a British Citizen she can apply for a British Passport.

Permanent Residency (PR) is equivalent to Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR)

Why would your wife get PR? Surely she's under UK immigration rules and eligible for ILR?
Is she under 'old rules' or 'new rules' ?
