Wife on spouse visa delivered baby in Pakistan.

[syrshiraz]

Hello,

I am a British national and my wife is on spouse visa, after a year she was pregnant and as I was busy with work it was hard for me to look after her here so we decided to have the baby at her parents house in Pakistan. Now she has recovered and the baby is 3 month old its time for them to join me here. My question is what I have to do to bring the child here? Do I have to submit any application? Someone told me that my baby is born British no matter where she was born. Just need some guidance many thanks. And as My wife was away from UK for almost a year I understand I have to extend her visa before applying for ILR.

If your baby is automatically a British citizen, then baby may apply for a British passport.

It will depend on whether OP acquired his citizenship by means other than by descent . If he did, then child will be British under section 2 (1).
