British Citizenship for a child born abroad

[ravis]

Hi Everyone,

Can someone please advice me on the following query?
I took British citizenship through naturalisation in May 2008 and my wife has been granted ILR in OCT 2009. We are planning our child to be born in India. what is the best way of applying British citizenship? If I can what will be the child status in India?

Thanking you.
Kind Regards,
ravis

as you hold a BC your baby will be BC by descent


Best wishes

Thank you very much for your reply.

I red in one of the post saying that applying a British Citizenship by descent will effect future generation (i.e they can't pass their BC to their next generation). If so what is the best way of avoiding those disadvatages.

Please advice.

the best way is your child being born in the UK or your child's children being born in the UK. other than that i dont know if there is much that you can do.

Can someone kindly advise if a child in the case below can be registered for British Citizenship?

One parent is with British Citizenship and the other is with ILR. The child is currently holding EEA family permit but not the ILR yet. The child has been in the UK for more than 3 years since the first arrival.

Can the child be registered for the British Citizenship? Is the ILR a requirement for BC registration?

Thanks

I want to know if a baby was registered abroad. . would it help him to pass the nationality to his children if they were not born in uk?
I am British by naturalisation. . I know my son is eligible for British passport. . but my concern if he can pass his nationality to his children?
he's 5 months old we live in Germany. and my husband is European. . anyone?
many thanks

Hello there,

Very quick question that I hope someone has a simple answer for. I'm British by birth. My wife is due to give birth in the next 3 months, in Canada. (She's Canadian).. Does the child qualify for dual nationality and how do I go about registering for UK citizenship??
