No. British citizens cannot be issued a visit visa (or any visa) to enter the UK.
Yes.
No, because he will need to have the child's Indian passport with him. Besides, then he would have to send it to you in India. Faster to apply for it in India.
Thanks for your reply. It clarifies all my queries but just one, which is below.secret.simon wrote: ↑Wed Jun 13, 2018 11:52 amNo. British citizens cannot be issued a visit visa (or any visa) to enter the UK.
The child will be born a British citizen. That is to say, that even without a British passport, s/he will be a British citizen. British citizens cannot be subject to a visa under the Immigration Act 1971.
I thought once baby is in UK on visitor visa, we will apply for British passport as he/she will be British citizen by descent. Would that not work? or the baby must return out of UK within 6 months time as baby is on visitor visa?secret.simon wrote: ↑Thu Jun 14, 2018 9:20 pmThe child will be born a British citizen.

Also, for a visit visa, you need to demonstrate that the applicant will leave the UK at the end of the visa period (six months). That is plainly not going to be the case.
A British citizen cannot be issued a visa, any visa. If the UK High Commission concludes that the child is a British citizen, they must decline the application.
Page 8 of Visit guidance wrote:A person who is a British citizen, or who has right of abode in the UK cannot be given leave to enter or remain under the Immigration Rules. This is because under section 1(1) of the Immigration Act 1971 a person with right of abode is not subject to immigration control.
If a person who has right of abode applies for a visit visa and you are satisfied that they have right of abode, you should advise them that their application cannot be considered, the application will lapse, and they may want to apply for a certificate of entitlement to the right of abode or a British passport instead. The application fee will not be refunded.
Oh ok, that's a great piece of information, thanks for clarification, I appreciate your efforts.secret.simon wrote: ↑Thu Jun 14, 2018 9:50 pmA British citizen cannot be issued a visa, any visa.
