Hi,
We lived in UK for 10 years, went to India for couple of years returned to UK using Returning resident visa. We have ILR status now.
We have 2 children, both born in UK. Elder child born before we got our ILR and younger child born after we got our ILR.
We are planning to return back to India due to family commitments. We are considering applying for British citizenship for our children but are confused whether to keep Indian citizenship or apply for British citizenship (given we are moving back to India and kids will continue education in India and the rules/fees for OCI students in Indian universities)
1) For the younger child, we have got Certificate of Entitlement - Right of Abode when we came back to UK. If we continue with the Certificate of Entitlement - Right to Abode, can we apply for British Citizenship if required later when he becomes an adult? Does he need to keep renewing his certificate of entitlement from outside UK?
2) For the elder child,
- She lived in UK for her first 8.5 years since birth and another 1.5 years from age 11 - 13. Can she apply for British passport later from India based on the fact that she was born in UK and lived for more than 10 years in UK
- Can she apply for British citizenship later from India (after age of 18) based on the fact that she had ILR in UK before moving back to India?
- Is there any other method she can apply for British citizenship from India after age of 18?
Many thanks for your help.
