In 2024, US applications for UK citizenship soared to over 6,100, a 26% increase from the previous year and the highest since 2004. This spike corresponds with Donald Trump's re-election, particularly evident in the last months of 2023, where applications surged by 40%. The article features insights from three Americans in the UK, particularly focusing on Michael Lark, who cited healthcare costs, gun violence, and political dissatisfaction as key factors prompting their move to seek British citizenship.
Michael Lark highlighted that political climate and healthcare costs compelled him and his wife to seek UK citizenship, signaling a growing disenchantment with life in the US.
The surge in US citizens applying for UK citizenship reflects broader concerns over gun violence and political divisiveness, with notable increases seen post-Trump's election.
