UK born child, lives in Pakistan since last 10 years, father gets ILR now: how to apply for visa?

[newlybrit]

My son was born in the UK in 2009, moved to Lahore, Pakistan in 2010 and lives there since then. He has his British Birth Certificate. I got my Indefinite Leave to Remain in the UK in 2019. I want to apply for his visa.
Do I need to apply from the UK or can I do it from Pakistan? Also, which visa category I should apply for him? Please guide me for the process and I will be grateful for your help.

You can register your son as British Citizen via MN1 route.

Once the application is approved, you will be able to apply for a British Passport for the child.

You can apply online. Your child will have to attend biometrics appointment in Pakistan along with a responsible adult.

Answer: No

Many thanks for your reply. This has been very helpful.

When I go to page 2 of the online form titled "Application", it asks for Given Name and Family Name. Does it have to be my (father's) name OR that of child's (my son's) name?

[CULLINAN]

The applicant is your son not you. Its his name. You are just filling on his behalf.
