我家宝宝英国出生后，5个月时回国，我刚拿到PR, 是否可以直接在英国申请入籍？
我在immigrationboards.com专题讨论会上看到在英国出生的宝宝即使不在英国也可以直接申请入籍，不知道有人知道吗?
我试着打了好几天移民局电话确认，但一直打不通。
Q1: Can my son apply for naturalisation?
The term used for children applications as BC is Registration and not Naturalisation. The requirements for children are a lot simpler than for adults.
UK born
In the child was born in the UK before one parent had ILR/PR, then once one parent is granted ILR, the child is entitled register as BC under section 1(3) of the British Nationality Act irrespective of their immigration status.
This application is an entitlement and as such the HO has no discretion in the decision if the statutory requirements are met. The application can be made any time before the child is 18. The only documents required are UK birth certificate and evidence that parent obtained ILR/PR. The application can be made if the child is in the UK or abroad.
If the child was born in the UK after one parent has ILR/PR, then the child is British from birth and can apply directly for a passport.
Q2: My child has been away from the UK. Can he apply for Registration?
There are no residential requirements for application under section 1(3) (child born in the UK before parent was granted ILR/PR).
If application under section 3(1) (children born abroad) - There are no residential requirements for children under 13 years old. Children 13-16 years old are expected to have lived in the UK for 2 years before applying. Children who moved to the UK aged 16 or more are likely to get refused and should apply as adults once they meet the Naturalisation requirements.
太好了，非常感谢，那你朋友的宝宝是用中国护照回国的吗? 我家宝宝是用中国护照回国的，并且护照上有英国dependent签证，但回国后就没有续签了，宝宝护照上有一个中国入境的章。
