If born in UK all those babies will be British, bless their little cotton socks. Shoot directly for passports.PandieK wrote:I'm British by Descent and I hope to get married next year to my partner who lives in Canada. I'd like to know; if I move to Canada now and come back to the country (UK) to have my baby/babies, will they be able to claim the British citizenship? I understand the rules when it comes to having the children abroad but if I go with the previous plan of coming back to the country... is that an option?
Is this regardless of my type of status? I want to leap for joy but I'll wait a minutenoajthan wrote:If born in UK all those babies will be British, bless their little cotton socks.

I don't have to be in the country for X amount of years? i know this applies if I want to have the children abroad but I plan on having them here... so I can move away and come back to have them here?My understanding is yes, regardless.PandieK wrote:Is this regardless of my type of status?

So its a case of Rule Britannia - and all who sail in her!British citizenship otherwise than by descent
A child born in the UK to parents one or both of whom are British citizens is automatically a British citizen otherwise than by descent and does not need to be registered

I am aware this applies if the child by a British by descent is born abroad. I'm just worried if the same applies to a child of a British by descent who has a child in the UK 
Fantastic! Thanks for the heads up. Just read the chapter two of the pdf but I think I've been left even more confused (Or maybe I don't want to believe what I've readnoajthan wrote:Just be aware of this...PandieK wrote:OMG! THANK YOUUUUUUUU!!!
The UK has a residency based healthcare system which means provision of NHS treatment is based on being ‘ordinarily resident’ in the UK, not on nationality, payment of UK taxes or national insurance contributions, owning a property, being registered with a GP or having an NHS number.
A British citizen who resumes settled residence in the UK is immediately entitled to free NHS care. It is only if a British citizen resides only overseas and is visiting the UK that they may be charged.
For information about accessing services when visiting or moving to England see NHS Choices website:

section 1 (1)(a) does not make a distinction between British by descent and British otherwise than by descent.
Page 7 is mainly about children born abroad.PandieK wrote:Awww bless you both! Thank you so much for all the help! Now i can sleep well

We still have the EU TIPP to worry about and what the means for the NHS.
