The only possible chance that you may have is based on your grandfather's CUKC citizenship.
So, to advise you further on that, we will need more information about your grandfather.
a) Were your grandfather and grandmother married? If they were, when and is there a marriage certificate?
b) When and how did your grandfather get British citizenship?
c) When was your father born? Has your father ever lived in the UK? If so, when and for how long?
At a guess, your father was probably a CUKC at birth. But in 1981, British citizenship law was rewritten to remove the right of abode from anybody who did not have a connection with the UK. So, you may have the right to a British Overseas passport.
But I would not suggest going down that route. That does not give you the right to live or work in the UK. In fact, applying for that may cause more issues than it resolves. You will lose the right to live in any country in the world, including India and the UK.
I think it is, Those that took Malaysian Citizenship lost their CUKC citizenship at that point.nithin01 wrote:Don,t know actually , is it important ? he was there in Singapore only for 4-5 years after birth .
Then he must have lost any other citizenship on becoming an Indian Citizen since India doesn't allow dual citizenship.nithin01 wrote:Yes ..
Was your grandfather working in the British crown service when your father was born?nithin01 wrote:b) My grandfather accepted British nationality on 10-8-1967 per section & act 6(1) (B) BNA 1948 .
c) My father was born in Singapore ( 5th December 1955 ) , No he has never been in uk .
As your father was not born after your grandfather got citizenship, he likely never got CUKC citizenship. Children inherit the citizenship that their parents had when they were born. As your grandfather was not a British citizen at the time your father was born, your father was never a CUKC.nithin01 wrote: b) My grandfather accepted British nationality on 10-8-1967 per section & act 6(1) (B) BNA 1948 .

he was working under britannic majesty's ministry of defense in Singapore , but when we request nationality from singapore office they replied that my grandfather get british nationality on 1967 . maybe his old nationality paper was lost .secret.simon wrote:As your father was not born after your grandfather got citizenship, he likely never got CUKC citizenship.

The only way your father would have got British citizenship is if your grandfather registered him separately when he was registered himself.
What was your grandfather's citizenship before he became a British citizen?
