British by descent father;born outside UK/Relevant Territory

[NelsonVG]

SCENARIO

FACTS:

- I am a regular UK citizen but only by descent;
- I am living in a British Overseas Territory and have been for 3 years; I hold a work permit here; I do not have any "belonger" or other status here, nor am I a BOT citizen;
- My wife is pregnant and we are deciding where to have the baby; there are limited maternity options in the Territory; and
- My wife lives with me here at the moment but she has only lived here 1 year and before that did not live in the UK or any British OVerseas Territory; she is not a UK or other type of British citizen, or EU/EEA citizen either.

QUESTIONS:

I am clear enough that if our baby is born in the British Overseas Territory, my child will be a regular UK citizen. What if my wife chooses to give birth in another country (travelling there shortly before giving birth and travelling back to the British Overseas Territory afterwards)?

Assuming the baby would be a UK citizen:

- would it be a UK citizen "by descent" or "otherwise than by descent"; and
- what would the procedure be to get a passport etc. for the baby.

Thanks.
