Try to have some patience, we don't get paid to contribute to the forum helping people - you allowed exactly 4 minutes between your posts!!

visiting visa

British citizens cannot apply for a visit visa for their own country (UK)

come uk with indian passport and certificate of registration as British citizen

Nope, not going to work either because the certificate of registration is not a travel/visa document

apply for ILR for him

British citizens cannot apply for ILR, because they are British and have the right to reside and don't need permission. Also, you cannot apply for ILR outside the UK.

Your best option would be to apply for a Certificate of Entitlement or Right of Abode in India.

If you search the forum, you will find that many people apply for British passports if their UK born child is abroad and you can apply using fast track which takes 1 to 2 weeks. Not sure if the foreign passport will be needed though so CoE or RoA might be the best option.

After getting Certificate of Entitlement or Right of Abode in India. Should I have to apply for UK passport for my son in india or can he travel on CoE or RoA.

[CR001]

CoE or RoA is placed in the Indian passport and the child will be able to enter the UK with just that in the foreign passport.

Once the child is here, you can then apply for a British passport if you wish.

[rajeshkadugi]

To apply CoE or RoA for my child. both parents should have British passport? In my case me and my wife has ILR.

[vinny]

he got certificate of registration as British citizen last week.

That's sufficient.

Note that child may apply for either a British passport or a CoE-RoA. Cannot hold both at the same time.

Thanks for sharing the information.

I have question. Is my child is eligible for RoA because I have tier 1 at the time of his birth. But after I got ILR I have applied for Certificat of registration as British citizen and now he has certificate too. I read RoA process of child. Most of the cases parents has ILR at the time of child birth. Will my child get RoA in my case is the Question now?

Yes.
Child is eligible for CoE-RoA because child is British 2(1)(a) without a British passport.
Child is British because of registration.

Hi,

What is the processing time for RoA in India?
I have applied for fast processing of RoA today in Hyderabad.
VFS Hyderabad people don't know how much time it will take to process the application.
Could anyone please let me know what is the processing time for Standard and fast process application.

Hi All,

I have applied for RoA for my son and RoA got rejected saying one of the parent should be born in UK. Is this correct?

[vinny]

That's incorrect. Child being British is sufficient for RoA.
