British passport for EEA child born in the UK
Hi,
I am not sure if I can ask this question here, but wasn’t sure in which section I could ask this.
I have seen quite a few parents from the Czech or Slovak Republic, who would like to apply for a British passport for their child that was born in the UK.
From what I have read, the parent would have to be exercising treaty rights for 5 years before the child was born, however I need some advice.
The parent I spoke to today said she’s attended high school and then worked for 2 months and then stopped working. Her father (grandfather to the child) however had worked for 7 years in the UK.
How can I figure out if she’s been exercising treaty rights and if she’s entitled to apply for British passport for her child?
thank you
If the child wants a British passport they will need to apply for citizenship. The fee is £936. They would then need to apply for a passport which would be another £80 or so. In short it is, like Ron Burgundy, kind of a big deal.
Whether a particular application would or would not be successful is, I think, a reserved matter under immigration law and you would need to be suitably regulated to advise on it. I’m not sure if its something we’re supposed to talk about here.
