Alright so my questions are as follows:

Can i go to UK and apply for a British passport over there? since i'm already a British citizen by descent born in Venezuela to my British father.

I would prefer applying directly in the UK since it won't take 6 months to get my passport.

Can i use a Right of Abode or something to perform this?

What are my requirements?

Thanks for all the help!

Which other nationality do you have? You can enter the UK as a visitor and apply for a passport in country. You will obviously need an address for correspondence, and be aware that the process could take 6 weeks or more. You will need to attend an interview also.

I was extremely lucky with mine and it took 14 days from the date of application to the date of receiving my passport.

As you are British by descent you may need to provide grandparents details also.

Don't forget that you may also need an appropriate countersignatory.

I have Venezuelan Nationality and passport, as a Venezuelan i can't enter UK unless i have a Visa. So how can i show immigrations that i'm British by Descent?

Anyway i just wanna speed up the process because from Venezuela it seems it could take up to 10 weeks or more.

i thought that as my father was born in the UK i don't need to provide details of his grandparents.
