People often ask, “Is there a way to avoid Life in the UK test?” The answer is Yes. The easiest way - wait until you’re 65. If you’re 65 or older, you don’t have to take the Life in the UK test. A slightly more complex solution: you can also skip it if you show that you have permanent disability or mental impairment (the latter shouldn’t be hard to get once you start memorizing all you need to know for the test). Your other options:
Get beaten regularly by your domestic partner before you apply for residency. (Do
wnload your form here)
Become a Gurkha. (Of course, you’d need to become Nepalese first).
Become a Gurkha’s husband, wife or civil partner. (i.e. lesbian Gurkhas save £34).
Simply be rich and retire in UK: nobody will care if you understand the system of government, - especially if you keep your money in an Icelandic bank.
There are other ways to avoid Life in the UK test, - you can also become Turkish, or get yourself a British son or a grandson, etc. There is obviously no need for all these people to know the origin of Santa Claus, or any other life-saving facts from the citizenship test.
