Thank you for your response secretSimon. Very clear!

Dear Secret.simon Thank you for reminding me. When you talk about residence. Do you mean my residence or my child residence? If I live on my own in the UK while my family is abroad, would the home office or the university consider the whole family as resident (since they financially depend on me) or ...

It is what it is.

What bothers me the most is that my kids dont get the right to study in the UK at the home rate.

Which means i ll have to consider relocating to the UK at least three years before the start of the university.

Thank you for your reply. Also as the others said : arranging a birth in the UK would solve the problem... Clealry living outside the UK with a british passport has no advantages at all. My wife has no right to ILR or citizenship--she cannot even visit the UK without a visa. My kids get to pay the ...

Thanks.

I agree about complicated thought process but at the end I am just a father that is concerned about my daughter s future .

Yes that I am aware but as of now she has no nhs number or track record as she was not born in the UK.

i suppose there is nothing i can do....

She ll probably need to go private

Thank you for your response.

Right now i agree there is no benefit but maybe in the future there will be as she ll be able to pass on the citizenship.

Hi I am Uk Citizen (naturalised). My daughter was born in Morocco in 2020 (during the covid crisis) as a result she is british by descent. I was in a temporary mission in Morocco back then (still in Morocco on and off). Due to flight restrictions at that time, we could not organise our flight to the ...

Residing in France as entrepreneur, can it entitle you to a French passport after 5 years? This page https://www.expatica.com/fr/moving/visas/brexit-france-200692/ says: Permanent residence and citizenship British citizens who have been living in France for five continuous years on a renewable carte ...

Thank you Secret Simon.

What does UKF means? is this a special status?

Thank you Secret Simon. I appreciate all responses.

Kind Regards

I meant when visiting the UK.... It is quite strict in terms of proving residency.... God knows what the future will be like but clearly being a British Citizen and living abroad does not present any advantages as far as i can see. In USA, people just go and give birth there without any proof of ...

Dear Secret Simon

Thank you for your reply. Very clear!

Not sure whether the NHS hospitals would welcome British expats? If not, does it mean that we need to go private?

Dear All, My daughter was born outside the UK (I am British naturalized). My daughter now has the UK passport but she is British by descent (although her passport does not say so) and she can not pass the citizenship as far as I know. I am interested in knowing what are the necessary conditions that ...

I have recently been invited for an interview for my daughter's passport application. She was born late last year. (we are living outside the UK).

I have no idea what questions to expect. Can someone share his experience please?

Thank you

Thank you for the reply.

Then the countersignatory is compulsory which is a bit unfair if you dont know people with the right passports (EU, US, UK, etc) in the country where you reside.

i ll have to find countersignatory who live outside Morocco i have no choice

Let me check. Up to now i was following these instructions:

Thank you for your reply.

I think so. Please check page 15.

I hope i am understanding this wrong

Is Countersignatory needed when applying for first child passport outside the UK?

The rule states that the countersignatory must hold a British, Irish, EU, US or Commonwealth
passport which has not run out. Where am I supposed to find that person if i live outside Europe,UK, commonwealth and UK?

Thanks very much shall i put her DOB or shall i put mine (because i am representing her)? In the question, ---Have you had a UK passport before?--- Are they referring to me or to her? sorry i am confused Child is the applicant not you. You are filling the form on behalf of the child but fill as per ...

Also note, your child will not be able to pass British Citizenship by descent to next generation born outside UK.

Thanks

Thanks very much

In the question, ---Have you had a UK passport before?---

Are they referring to me or to her? sorry i am confused

Dear all, I apologize because i have asked this question before but i still seem to be confused I am BC other than by descent ( was naturalised in the UK in 2018). My daughter was born outside the UK this December 2020. I am looking to apply for her British passport. What should I do? 1- Use the ...

I am a naturalised BC (BC otherwise than by descent). My wife is due in December this year, she will give birth in Morocco (because her visa expired and as a result she can not fly to UK). My understanding is that the new born is eligible for the BC (but only the BC by descent?). Can you confirm ...

Thank you.

Immigration rules are getting very complicated ....honestly!
