我98年出世
即係一出生就有British citizen by descent
符合section 3(b)(i) of the 1981 Act.
即係我去英國住三年 將來我個仔香港出世我都可以為佢申請bc
個仔英國出世就一定有bc
老婆就要去英國住5年攞永久居留先可以有bc
應該冇get錯 多謝HKG3巴打
我98年出世 - the important point is that one of your parent was a British Citizen otherwise than by descent when you were born in 1998. (If one of your parent received his/her British Citizenship under section 1(1) of the British Nationality (Hong Kong) Act 1990)
即係我去英國住三年 將來我個仔香港出世我都可以為佢申請bc - yes
個仔英國出世就一定有bc - yes - If you are going down this route, I would suggest you to organised the birth in Northern Ireland. A child born on the island of Ireland (including Northern Ireland) with a British Citizen parent is entitled to Irish citizenship too. So your child born in Belfast will get British, as well as Irish citizenship. Having Irish citizenship has two advantages - 1) Irish citizen will continue to enjoy EU freedom of movement after Brexit and 2) it is a lot easier to pass down Irish citizenship down the generations than British Citizenship.
老婆就要去英國住5年攞永久居留先可以有bc - yea it usually takes 5 years.
Please note that if you are a British Citizen by descent, you cannot do anything to change that fact, so I would go for the section 3(5) route rather than the section 3(2) route.
Are you thinking of moving to the UK?
Northern Ireland個情況咁特別嘅
一出世就有雙重國藉
多謝巴打嘅建議
將來會考慮下
家陣先廿歲 大學都未讀完 冇諗到咁長遠
如果香港政治情況再係咁差 2047前我應該會過去英國
讀完個大學先再算
再一次唔該巴打
