Title: UK Passport Post by: Minnesota Fats on Saturday, July 7, 2012, 09:03:36 Morning all.
I've got a Polish guy at work, whose wife is expecting their 3rd child in the next month or so, wondering if the new-born will be eligible for a UK passport? Does anyone know off-hand what the rules are as I said I'd try and find out for him. His wife is also Polish and they've been living in the UK for 4 and a half years. Cheers.

He was under the impression that he had to have been resident in the UK for at least 5 years before applying for one. Title: Re: UK Passport Post by: china red on Saturday, July 7, 2012, 09:16:57 Check on the immigration services website because a lot of the rules change on 9th July

He was under the impression that he had to have been resident in the UK for at least 5 years before applying for one. He has to be nationalised as a British citizen first http://www.bia.homeoffice.gov.uk/britishcitizenship/eligibility/naturalisation/standardrequirements/ And on children http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/britishcitizenship/eligibility/children/britishcitizen/borninuk/ Title: Re: UK Passport Post by: Minnesota Fats on Saturday, July 7, 2012, 13:52:42 Thanks all for the replies! I went down to the Post Office earlier to see what they had to say on the matter and even they didn't have a clue! Just advised me to contact the passport office!
It'd probably be easier to have him deported! Cheers all!

As soon as they have the birth cert they can get him a Blighty Passport.
As ghanimah mentioned he has to do 5 years to be nationalised as a Brit but being Polish there's not much point.

Title: Re: UK Passport Post by: 4D on Monday, July 9, 2012, 13:07:06 Eligible or not, why would he want one? Are there any differences between a UK and Polish one?
