the gov website is unclear on this matter and it is impossible to speak to someone. The digital assistant is horrendous going round in circles with generic information.
I am english british, my 16 year old son lives in norway and travels on a norwegian passport. I have flown him the uk 60 times in his lifetime. His next visit to the uk is easter 2025 and i intend to get him a british passport on this visit, its about time, does he need the new ETA ?
According to the gov website he automattically inherits my British citizenship. but how can he prove at border control that he has inheritted my british citizenship? I thought this maybe a passport things, but i cant get him a passport right now because during the online application process it states he is likely to need an interview. I can be paying the £100 for the application, because odds are that they will call him for interview and its not as if he can jump on a bus to go for it. Then they will fail the application.
Any ideas and the best way forward ?
