我儿子之前一直都在英国和我们一起，但去年10月因为要换护照回国后就一直留在了国内。
因为我和我老公这几个月都在申请永居，最近刚下来。
想请问各位热心肠的朋友，不知道谁知道这种情况，娃也可以直接在国内申请永居，然后回来英国吗？
感谢感谢~~
如果是在国内出生的呢？
谢谢谢谢~
感觉儿童随父母永居要在英国境内申请吧，看有没有懂这个的达人来解释。
Entry Clearance for ILE (Indefinite Leave to Enter) as Child Under 18
According to the Immigration Rules paragraph 297, ILE in the UK shall be permitted to the child below 18 years if:
- Both parents are settled and present in the United Kingdom.
- Either of the parents is settled and present in the UK while the other one is being admitted on the same occasion for settlement at the time the child is also seeking admission.
- One parent is settled and present in the UK while the other one is dead.
- The parent settled and present in the UK has the sole responsibility for the upbringing of the child.
- One parent is settled and present in the UK or is being admitted for settlement but there are serious family reasons, which make the exclusion of the child undesirable and the arrangements made for the care of the child also suitable.
The evidence that must be provided includes the following:
- The child should be related as claimed.
- The child must be below 18 years.
- The applicant should not be married or be a civil partner.
- The sponsor should have proper maintenance funds and accommodation for the child without the need to use public fund
孩子必须18岁以下
感谢感谢~ 也就说如果小孩即便是在中国申请，也是可以直接申请永居的是吗？
孩子出生时，父母没有英籍身份or只持有英国永居身份： 孩子“无法”直接被视为英籍或永居身份。
孩子想进入英国，就必须事先申请相应家庭团聚签证。
只要孩子在英国境外出生，并且出生之前或当下，父母没有英籍身份，那么孩子就不会自动获得任何身份（即便后来父母拿了英籍或永居），孩子需要按照一般程序申请相应签证（家庭团聚） 才能来到英国。
18岁以下容易办，先团聚，如果你们之后入籍，孩子也自动入籍（18岁以下）
