My husband and I are planning on moving to England in the next six months. We have been married for three years. Do I need to get a visa to work in England even though he has his British citizenship? If so, how do I get one and how long does it take to get one?

You must get a visa before you travel to the UK as a husband, wife, civil partner, fiancé, fiancée, proposed civil partner, or unmarried or same-sex partner. http://www.ukvisas.gov.uk/en/howtoapply/infs/inf4husbandswivespartners You can apply to join your husband, wife, civil partner, fiancé, fiancée or proposed civil partner in the UK as long as: * they currently live and are settled in the UK, or * they are coming to live permanently in the UK, and * they are not under 21 You must show that: * you are legally married to each other or are in a civil partnership recognised in the UK * your husband, wife or civil partner is present and settled in the UK (see the next section) * you both intend to live together permanently as husband and wife or as civil partners * you have met each other before * you can support yourselves and any dependants without any help from public funds * you have suitable accommodation, which is owned or lived in only by you and your household, and where you and your dependants can live without any help from public funds * your husband, wife or civil partner is not under 21, and * you are not under 21. At first, you will be allowed to stay and work in the UK for two years. Near the end of this time, if you are still married and intend to continue living together, you can apply to stay permanently in the UK. The UK Border Agency will deal with your application to stay permanently in the UK. Before the end of your probationary two years Leave to Enter (LTE) has expired you will need to apply to the UK Border Agency for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) in the UK. When you do this you will be required to pay a non-refundable fee and provide certain documents as specified on the UK Border Agency website: Form SET (M) and guidance notes. Before we can give you permission to stay in the UK permanently, you will need to pass the 'Life in the UK' test. If you and your husband, wife or civil partner have been living together outside the UK for four years or more, and you meet all the necessary requirements to stay permanently in the UK, you may be granted indefinite leave to enter. These requirements include showing that you have the necessary level of knowledge of the English language and life in the UK.

You do NOT get citizenship automatically just because HE has citizenship. You are NOT entitled to that. Noone is anymore. YES you MUST apply for a settlement visa for you to legally live and work in UK. You must LIVE in UK for 4 years before you are eligible to apply for british citizenship.
