Best Answer

To apply for any RAF job, you must be a citizen of the UK or the Republic of Ireland, or have been a Commonwealth citizen since birth, or hold dual UK/other nationality.

For security reasons, there are stricter nationality requirements for some jobs. For a few, you must have been a UK citizen and UK resident since birth.

.... and ....

You must have lived in the UK for the five years immediately before you apply to join. For a few jobs, the qualifying period is 10 years.

If your period of residency has been broken by certain specific circumstances, your application could still be accepted.
