"UK Citizenship by Birth" for Baby born in Spain to UK naturalised Father and Spanish mother?
Answer:
I don't think this should be such a big problem. After all, if his children are born in UK, they also will be "British by birth", and if they are born overseas but their mother is British by birth then there would be no problem. Also, presumably your son can claim an equivalent Spanish citizenship (depends on the law there).
It does seem odd that his status is different in this way. I don't know if there's an option for "naturalisation" later in life.
Congratulations!
will he or she not qualify for both citizen ship
Hi,
A tricky predicament I see.
My understanding is that there are several "levels" of UK citizenship. I suppose that as my passport declares me to be a UK citizen, with right of abode, and all that, as my parents are of a similar background.
Some documents state that although you have a UK / EU passport, you may not have this "right of abode"
My wife was born in what was Rhodesia, daughter of a colonialist bod working there at the time, both parents Brits.
She is a fully fledged UK citizen.
My guess, but don't hold it to me, is that in your described circumstances, your offspring, or you on his/her behalf could apply for dual Nationallity.
An advantage !
I lived & worked in the Mid-East for many a year, where our first son was born. He now has both a EU passport, and an Omani one. And this right of abode in both countries - more than I have.
I suppose therefore, that the international system allows for parents of different nationalities to apply for combined documentation.
I would have a word with the UK Foreign Office, for clarification.
All the best, and congratulations on being a Dad. - What could be better, regardless of the paperwork !
Bob.
BOTH CITIZENSHIP WILL BE NICE.....
