<p>Commonwealth citizens are eligible to apply to join the UK Armed Forces. Like their
British and Irish counterparts, they must meet the required eligibility criteria including
age, educational, fitness and medical, as well as UK residency for security vetting
purposes which varies depending on rank and role. In addition, since November 2018
there has been an annual limit of up to 1,350 Commonwealth citizens who can be recruited
each year by the Armed Forces. The Army also has a 15% limit on the number of Commonwealth
citizens serving in each cap badge. These requirements can limit the number of roles
available at a particular time.</p><p> </p>
