Hi.
I am working as Skill worker since 2021. Next year I will be applying for ILR. Blessed with a baby this year. I want to know if I need to apply for newborn's passport and visa? Or once I have ILR can I directly apply for british citizenship.
I know we can not travel outside UK with child in this time.
Thank you.

A UK born child does not need a visa or ILR to stay here. The child can be registered as British, once a parent becomes settled
