British Overseas Citizen & Right to Work

[Corric2021]

Hi,

This is my first post on the forum. As such, please accept my apologies in advance if I have inadvertently posted in the wrong area.

I have a British Overseas Citizen passport that is endorsed with "Holder is entitled to re-admission to the United Kingdom". My understanding of this has been that this is equivalent to an indefinite leave to enter/remain and thus allows me the right to work in the UK.

Am I correct in my understanding or do I need to apply for any additional documentation/permits to enable me to prove right to work?

Thank you in advance.

What is your other nationality?

Rights as a British overseas citizen
You can:

hold a British passport
get consular assistance and protection from UK diplomatic posts

Unless you’re also a British citizen:

you’re still subject to immigration controls - you don’t have the automatic right to live or work in the UK
you aren’t considered a UK national by the European Union (EU)

Thanks CR001. Appreciate the quick response.

I have no other citizenship.

I understand the that those rights apply to a BOC who is subject to immigration control. However, with he endorsement I have - "holder is entitled to re-admission" am I still subject to immigration control.

Thanks

You will need to provide more information about your parents, where you were born etc if you want any advice from members on the forum.

Become a British overseas citizen
You can only apply to become a British overseas citizen in limited circumstances.

Stateless people
You may be able to register as a British overseas citizen if you’re stateless (not recognised by any country as having a nationality) and both of these apply:

you were born in the UK or an overseas territory
one of your parents is a British overseas citizen
You may also be able to register if you’re stateless and all of these apply:

you were born outside the UK and qualifying territories
one of your parents is a British overseas citizen
