Do I need to be a British citizen or have lived in the UK to be vetted?
Some especially sensitive posts are reserved for UK nationals; and certain categories of information may be restricted to UK nationals too. But generally, nationality is not a bar to security clearance though to be vetted we will usually expect a reasonable period of residency in the UK so that meaningful checks can be undertaken.
