That's great. Thanks for your help Sunburn.

Thank you Simon for your reply. :) I wonder if... "Provided that a person shall not be such a citizen by virtue of this section if at the time of his birth— (a)his father possesses such immunity from suit and legal process as is accorded to an envoy of a foreign sovereign power accredited to Hi...

Hello. My question is:

If two American citizens were based in the UK for World War II or possibly some years after (not sure of exact dates yet) and the mother gives birth here, are there any situations where the child can apply for UK citizenship?

Thanks for your help.

Thanks again Casa.

One final question. If she arrives with an open ticket to return to the US within six months, is there any paperwork she needs to bring with her to support such a longer stay? She'll be staying with me and my family for as long as she wants up to six months, before returning home. Will immigration o...

Thanks Casa.

I need some general info about an American friend of mine coming to the UK and Europe as well. As I understand it, she can come to England as a tourist and stay with me for six months. Is that correct? I've also read that she can stay in Europe for three months as a tourist and that when her three m...

Thanks for your reply Simon.

My Dad's a British citizen. I guess what he was looking for was a 'belonger status'.

It was his maternal Grandmother who was born in Bermuda in 1890. His mother was born in England in 1920 and my Dad was born in England in 1946.

Hi,

My Dad wants to know if he can get Bermudian citizenship as his Grandmother was born in Bermuda?

Thanks,

Richard

I am inferring that you are far better off to do your own research rather than rely on helplines that give wrong information as often as they give what is correct. You have already been told you won't lose your British citizenship, there are much better ways to verify this than ring a helpline, for...

I have been unable to get hold of the Irish Embassy or the British Home Office National telephone line for the past two days. I'll keep trying. The Irish Embassy switchboard 0207 235 2171 in London tells me to contact the wrong extension number x535 and the person that you must telephone instead x51...

In fact your mum could easily apply for an Irish passport without FBR if she wanted - she would just have to use the Irish passport application form, state that one of her parents was born on the island of Ireland, and prove the link (i.e. using her birth and marriage certificates, and her mother's...

Thanks benifa and el_gringo. Very useful info. I have my gran's (long) Northern Ireland GRO certificates for birth and marriage. I need to order her death certificate. I already have it but it's my mum's copy so don't want to send it off. I'm really into family history research so I have ordered cer...

Just so that I am clear, what is the situation with regard to my current British citizenship? Do I lose it if/when I become an Irish citizen? Do I need to fill out some forms to let one/both governments know of my new/existing citizenship? If I apply for Irish citizenship and get it, do I automatica...

Thank you! Great news!!

Thank you Benifa. So you are confirming that Northern Ireland is included in the Irish consitution from some years ago? Allowing me access to citizenship based on my gran born in Belfast? If so, then I am a very happy man.

I have a question about Irish citizenship. I hope you can help. I was born in England but I want to obtain Irish citizenship and an Irish passport. My gran was born in Northern Ireland in 1923. I am of the understanding that the year of partition was 1922. So am I out by a year? Or is there a chance...
