Hi all,
My partner is a British passport holder which she aquired by way of natrualization, our son is Australian and is 1.5yrs. What visa would she need to apply for him to gain entry into the UK, can we apply for a passport for him once were back in the UK ? Is it practicle to consider moving over on his Oz passport for 6 months and applying for his UK passport once in the UK.

Im not sure of the issues, if any, around a UK passport holder(through natrualization) and children of that person applying for a UK passport either ??

any suggestions from the forum,
cheers

When you talk of gaining entry to the UK are you talking about moving to the UK on a longterm/permanent basis or just visiting?

It would be better to get the British passport before leaving Australia.

As my partner was not born in the UK my son doesnt qualify for a british passport so its been suggested we apply for a EEA family visa on my Irish passport-has anyone had experince with these forms, is it a straight forward process ??

You are aware that someone who is naturalised British is considered "British other than by descent" and can pass on British citizenship to one generation born outside the UK?

Someone else on here mentioned that and I was surprised, it's a little loophole. Someone naturalized as a UKC can pass on citizenship, strange isn't it!
