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.

Thanks.
He was under the impression that he had to have been resident in the UK for at least 5 years before applying for one.

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!

And a house, car, 30K a year in benefits, free health care etc, etc, etc... Actually the Poles are alright. The ones I have met are mostly a hard working lot who enjoy the crack and like the odd drink as well. |

My Bulgarian lady friend, is applying for UK citizenship....you should see the Home Office exam, I'd fail it for sure.
Here's an example...
In Northern Ireland, social housing is provided by?
[a]. The Northern Ireland Authority
. The Northern Ireland Housing Executive
[c]. The Northern Ireland Assembly
[d]. The Northern Ireland Property Association

He is. 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.
