[圍爐]英國國藉前途討論區

可唔可以仔女係香港岀世,但係照拎到回鄉証同bc?

Having your cake and eat it? Well you can do the following -

The children being born in Hong Kong, so they will have Chinese nationality.

Move the whole family to the UK under the spouse visa / dependent visa system and then have the children register as a British Citizen at the same time as the non British Citizen spouse applying for naturalisation.

Please note that UK immigration law can change at any time and any changes will only make immigration to the UK harder not easier.

有咩辦法搞到個仔都係bc

1. 英國出世
2. 英國以外地方出世: 你要係佢出世前連續係英國住滿3年, 其中唔可以以多過270日離開英國

2. 英國以外地方出世: 你要係佢出世前連續係英國住滿3年, 其中唔可以以多過270日離開英國

The above is section 3(2) registration and it does not suit most people who are British Citizen by descent under the British Nationality (Hong Kong) Act 1990. If you look at sections 3(2) and 3(3) -

(2)A person born outside the United Kingdom [F26and the qualifying territories] shall be entitled, on an application for his registration as a British citizen made [F27while he is a minor], to be registered as such a citizen if the requirements specified in subsection (3) or, in the case of a person born stateless, the requirements specified in paragraphs (a) and (b) of that subsection, are fulfilled in the case of either that person’s father or his mother (“the parent in question”).

(3)The requirements referred to in subsection (2) are—

(a)that the parent in question was a British citizen by descent at the time of the birth; and

(b)that the father or mother of the parent in question—

(i)was a British citizen otherwise than by descent at the time of the birth of the parent in question; or

(ii)became a British citizen otherwise than by descent at commencement, or would have become such a citizen otherwise than by descent at commencement but for his or her death;

For those of you who received British Citizenship via the British Nationality (Hong Kong) Act 1990 as a dependent of the main applicant, you cannot get section 3(2) registration for your overseas born child because your parents do not fulfill section 3(3)(b) - highlighted in red.

Yes and No!

Yes - any child born in the UK with a British Citizen parent will automatically a British Citizen otherwise than by descent.

No - if you were born after your parent (the main applicant) received his/her British Citizenship via the British Nationality (Hong Kong) Act 1990, then it appears that you can satisfy section 3(3)(b), which could led to section 3(2) registration for your child born overseas. I would suggest you to seek legal advice on this before planning your next move.

Yes, that is section 3(5) registration. The whole family needs to move to the UK in order to get section 3(5) registration.

點先可以令男朋友都係BC?

Spouse visa -

As an unmarried couple, you will need to submit relationship prove to the Home Office that you two lived together in a relationship for at lease 2 years before the application.

https://www.gov.uk/uk-family-visa/partner-spouse

You will also need to meet the other requirements of an UK spouse visa, namely, financial, housing and English language.

Your boyfriend will be given a 2.5 year visa at first and he needs to renew it in the UK again and will get Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) (永久居留) after 5 years in the UK.

If he is still not married to you (a British Citizen) by the time he gets ILR, he needs to wait for a year before he can apply for British Citizenship. However, if he is married to you at the time he gets ILR, then he can apply for British Citizenship as soon as he got ILR.

Please note that ILR status will be revoked by the UK Home Office if the holders stays out of the UK for more than 2 years.

想問如果拎bno 係uk 搵到份工做夠五年轉唔轉到bc 個個老豆老母都有bc

想問如果拎bno 係uk 搵到份工做夠五年轉唔轉到bc 個個老豆老母都有bc

You need to get Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) (永久居留) in the UK first.

If you can get a Tier 2 (General) work permit, you can get ILR after 5 years once you meet the conditions set by the UK Home Office.

https://www.gov.uk/settle-in-the-uk/y/you-have-a-work-visa/tier-2-general-visa

Once you have ILR for at lease a year, as a BN(O) passport holder, you can register to become a British Citizen using form B(OTA).

老婆係特衰 點實行住5年

你要係英國搵份工再用助養人身份幫你老婆搞dependant visa, 過左5年就有BC(應該係)

You can also satisfy the UK spouse visa's financial requirement using cash savings. If you are only apply for a visa for your spouse (no children), the you will need to have £62,500 cash savings for at lease 6 months before the application in order to qualify.

有咩辦法搞到個仔都係bc

我都想知
點樣搞到老婆都係bc

bc既配偶可以有配偶簽證，住滿3年有永居，1年後可以申請bc
如果係居英權計劃既bc，可以傳一代比個仔，其後就要係英國國內出生先可以有bc
非居英權計劃既bc，佢會按返你既上5代既國籍狀況，容許你子孫邊度出世都可以傳bc

What you said above is the old UK spouse visa system. The new UK spouse visa system came into force on 9 July 2012. The spouse visa holder will only get Indefinite Leave to Remain (永居) after living in the UK for 5 years.
