Hello,

Does anyone know if my newborn (who currently only has an Australian passport) can enter the U.K. as a visitor and then apply for a British Passport whilst in the U.K? Will they let her in? She is entitled to a passport because her mother (my wife) is a British Citizen and was Naturalised years ago (before my daughter was born).

thank you

It should work.

CR001, Does this mean that a child born outside UK from a non-EU country can come to UK as #visitor# and then apply for naturalisation if either of parents have British nationality?

Have you got any links please?

The poster is asking about a passport application, not registration as British. Australians do not need a pre approved visitor visa and the OPs child is British already.
