If you and your husband are both overstayers (this is what I have inferred from your post when you say you came on 6 month visas and just stayed) then your child will be South African and will not automatically be British, neither will the child be entitled to a British passport.sparx wrote:I have been living in London for the past eleven years, the first two years I was here as a working holidaymaker type visa (I'm South African). I returned home for six weeks, and then re-entered the country on a 6 month visitors visa, and have just stayed here ever since. My husband entered the country on a 6 months visitors visa also.
I am due to give birth to my first child soon. Will they automatically be British and entitled to a British Passport under these circumstances?
Thanks.

I totally agree the length of time here is irrelevant but I was implying that if they worked and paid Tax, NI contribution for 11yrs then they have contributed a lot of money into the economy.John wrote:lboro, the length of time here is irrelevant. They entered on visitor visas, and indeed have overstayed those.
