Good afternoon Natasha,

Thanks for getting in touch. Unfortunately he Army is not accepting new applications from overseas Commonwealth candidates due to the high volume of applicants currently in the pipeline. This decision will be reviewed regularly and updates will be posted on this page.

Commonwealth soldiers are, and always will be, an important and valued part of the fabric of the British Army. We thank all Commonwealth candidates for their patience and commitment in these uncertain times.
