British Citizenship by Descent

Post by gewalee » Sun Aug 11, 2019 3:53 pm

Hi. I need some help in regards to my eligibility to apply for citizenship by descent.

I am half Welsh and half Thai and was born in Thailand in 1998. My father was born and raised in Wales and my mother in Thailand. They were not married when I was born but have since got married in the UK. We all currently live in Thailand.

Will I be able to able for citizenship by descent? I have also read that because my parents got married after my birth I could already be a citizen? Is this correct?
