Each country has different immigration rules. The child would not be entitled to become a British citizen. Unlike Canada or the USA, a child born in the UK does NOT acquire British nationality automatically. For the child to become a British citizen, one of the parents would need to hold ILR (PR) or become a British citizen.

If you had a child, you would need to apply for a passport from your country of origin and apply for a dependent visa for the baby.

I have also noticed that you have been asking in other posts if you could claim benefits if the visa you are after is granted. Just to clarify, you are NOT entitled to receive any benefits.

You would be able to access Health and Education ( for under 16s) services but you are not entitled to claim any benefits.

A common error to confuse "benefits" and "Public Funds". So what you post is not true.

"Public Funds" are defined in para 6 of the Immigration Rules, and the definition certainly does not include all types of benefits. For example no maternity-related benefits are within the definition, nor are any contribution-based benefits.

You are right. I should have used the term 'public funds' instead of 'benefits'. Thanks for clarifying. 8)

I think, however, that my explanation about: the child not being allowed to get automatic citizenship and entitlement to access health/education education, is true; isn't it?

The child will only be British from the moment of birth if one or both parents are British or have "settled status" such as ILR.

"entitlement to access health/education education"? None of that is within the definition of Public Funds.

Yep, that's my understanding. I have met many people who think that the UK immigration rules are the same as those ones in the USA, Australia or Canada.

Many thanks again.
