JOINING FROM THE COMMONWEALTH
The Army currently offers limited places for Commonwealth applicants. You don't require UK
residency.
It is the responsibility of individual applicants to ensure that they have permission to be in the UK. This must be valid for the entirety of the recruitment and selection process up until the point they are enlisted. All applicants must have a passport that is valid for at least two years from your start date in the Army. You must be applying to join the Regular (full time) Army. You cannot join as a Reservist (part time) from the Commonwealth.
IMMIGRATION CONTROL
Personnel from overseas who are serving in the Regular Army are exempt from immigration control during the course of their service. Personnel from overseas serving in the Army Reserve are not exempt from immigration control.
Families who are not nationals of countries in the European Economic Area (EEA) are subject to immigration control and need to ensure that they have the appropriate immigration status.

Things may be different here in the U.S., but one of the recruits in our boot camp company back in 1964 was from Canada. Wanted to become a U.S. citizen. So enlisted in the navy and had to serve 4 years active duty. Lost touch with him upon graduating from boot camp. Upon graduated we were all scattered to the 4 winds for schools in different trades or assigned sea duty as the Vietnam War was starting to heat up. Frank
