UK Born with Foreign Adult Passport

Post by Apparition » Fri Jul 11, 2014 8:16 pm

Done a search but unsure. If I go abroad with a foreign passport (it states my place of birth), am I ok to return without showing any other docs? I guess this is equivalent to asking what UK birth grants you.

Being UK born, unless born before 1983, is no grant of anything in the UK by itself.

Can someone UK born illegally reside in the UK? I've not seen a requirement for ILR/PR. In the case of minor's registration for BC, they don't need it (1 parent does). I find it hard to believe they can register having lived illegally up to 18 years. :?

Someone born in the UK can remain in the UK.

The moment that person leaves the UK, they are potentially subject to immigration control. If they have the right to a British passport then they can simply return back through. If they require a visa then they have to get a visa to return.

Brilliant, thanks. The other way to return is ILR, I assume.

Been out of the UK twice, as a minor. Now getting a foreign adult passport. Sounds like I need proof of British Nationality or ILR. Checked gov.uk, they don't do ILR transfers to new passports anymore. So I'll need to carry 2 passports, in either case.
