This does not "sound right". It is not generally possible (subject to some very limited exceptions) to acquire British Overseas citizenship other than automatically on 1 January 1983.Raf wrote:My mother-in-law and her three adult children recently received British Overseas Citizenship.
When they applied for the passport doesn't make any difference.Raf wrote: They recently received British passports in which their nationality is stated as British Overseas Citizen. They had been British Nationals when they lived in Kenya and did not acquire Kenyan citizenship or Indian citizenship after Kenyan independence.
I think (i'm not too clear on the ins and outs of the case) that tecnically since they applied for the passport after 1983 they had already automatically become British Overseas Citizens.
As British Overseas citizens : basically, they can visit as tourists.So, does anyone know what their rights are for entry into the UK?
