British citizenship through ancestory and criminal record
Hi Everyone,
Ive been looking and looking for these answers and I cant seem to find it which is unlike me. anywho wonder if anyone can help me answer them. My bf wants to get his British Passport however not sure if he is eligible. His grandfather was born in Northern Ireland so is ancestory available from grandparents? he was born prior to 1983. Also he has a DUI conviction stupid idiot. could that hinder the proceedings as well? Thanks |

No idea, but has he looked here? http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/britishcitizenship/
I doubt he can get UKC from a grandparent, but that should tell him. As this is about the UK, rather than Canada, I'll move it to the MBTTUK forum. Hopefully JAJ (the resident pro!) may then see it and be able to help. HTH. |

He could get a right to remain in the UK, but we are thinking of going to Europe and working thats why he wants the passport. |

Thanks Mallory, just one questions if you know the answer.
His grandfather was born in Belfast, on that and other websites they use the term 'Island or Ireland' am i right to assume that encompasses Northern Ireland as well? |

Northern Ireland - Part of the United Kingdom, situated on the island of Ireland. Ireland - Eire, the Irish republic, separate country in the island of Ireland. Google is also a useful resource. |

So you can get citizenship for Ireland then if grandparent was born in NI? Thats what im trying to establish. I might seem thick but im just trying to clarify.

Re: British citizenship through ancestory and criminal record
try looking at this I wonder if this is more appropriate, you have not mentioned anything about his parents so imagine they were not British

Re: British citizenship through ancestory and criminal record
From having a little look about it looks like the country of Ireland considers people born on the actual island of Ireland to be Irish, if they want to be even those born in Northern Ireland. If the parents were registered then you can claim citizenship through the grandparents or something like that.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irish_nationality_law Heres the official website of the Irish immigration. http://www.inis.gov.ie/en/INIS/Pages/Citizenship_FAQs Theres a bit on citizenship by descent. I'm sure you could email and ask questions maybe? |

His Mums family are Italian lol so maybe thats a way in too! |
Re: British citizenship through ancestory and criminal record
just out of curiousity , did the grandparents register the births of their children abroad? , I only ask as my wifes grandfather was irish but didnt register the births of his children abroad and was curious as to whether she would be able to get an irish passport...would save on some money for the spouse visa for her i think for when we are going back to live in the UK hehe

If she can do that, then I think she can get an EU/Irish passport. |
