Right of abode for uk born child - please helpppp!
Posted: Fri Sep 15, 2017 10:04 am
Hi
I need some advice please
I have an ILR and recently gave birth to a baby boy in July, so by law, he is a british citizen by birth. However, i have applied a malaysia passport
for him, therefore he has malaysian nationality.
We are going to travel to malaysia soon due to family emergency but I am worried upon coming back to uk, my child will be refused an entry.
I had a look on the website that to apply for RoA it will take up to 6 months, in which we haven't got that much time to wait.
So, am i allowed to apply for RoA for my uk born baby from malaysia although we are only there for a visit? What is the timeframe if anyone knows?
Or must it be done in the UK before travelling since he was born here?
Or can i apply for the RoA after coming back from malaysia and just provide his birth cert and my ILR to the immigration officer upon entering UK.
Would that be suffice?
Anyone with similar situation please help!
