Hi there
My wife (a British national by birth, born in the UK) and myself (South African by birth, born in SA but naturalised as British) live abroad in South Africa.
We have a 1 year old baby with a South African passport and will be visiting the UK in September.
We now need to decide if we should try to apply for our baby's British Passport before this trip, or try to apply for a visitors visa on his South African passport.
I have been told by a friend (so not sure if it is truly reliable) that there will be issues trying to apply for a visitors visa since he is eligible for a British passport, does anyone know if this is true?
On the flip side, there is a ~5 week strike in the passport office as far as I understand, and assume that passport applications can take some time.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Many thanks!
