Re: ETA in effect for Canadians 25 February 2026

The difference in cost between a ten year British passport and ten years worth of ETAs is £2 so if you’ll be travelling to the UK at least once every two years and you don’t have an urgent need...

Re: 2025 Applying for British Citizenship

Congratulations and you are most welcome. As your brother has a child under 18 then he should also attempt to register under Section 4L using the same language you did as that would enable him to...

Re: I believe I have a route via 4L for citizenship

You don’t have a claim unfortunately, unless your mother spent at least three consecutive years in the UK before you were born, but as a Commonwealth citizen with a UK-born grandparent then you are...

Re: "To-do" list for moving to the UK?

I would strongly encourage you to obtain your mother’s birth certificate by hook or by crook as you would be saving yourself thousands and considerably more hassle over the next five years if you...

Re: British Citizenship by Discretion (CBR post 1982)

Correct. UKVI is explicitly self-funded (https://www.gov.uk/government/news/update-new-immigration-and-nationality-fees) and so charges fees that covers all its work, not just the application being...

Re: British Citizenship by Discretion (CBR post 1982)

Looks good - you just need to change S.14(1)(b) BNA 1981 to S.14(1)(b)(i) BNA 1981.

I also wouldn't include documents which aren't necessary as that tends to just 'muddy the waters'. I would...

Re: British Citizenship by Discretion (CBR post 1982)

Registration under Section 4L would only be possible if you could show that you were denied the opportunity to become a British citizen due to historical legislative unfairness, an act or omission of...

Re: Section 4L children

In a rare piece of good news regarding Home Office fees, the fee for child registration is dropping from £1,214 to £1,000 from 8 April so even more reason to register your children.

Re: ETA - Dual citizens must have valid UK passport

You won't need your parents-in-laws' certificates; just your wife's naturalisation certificate.

Three months is more than enough time to get them their British passports. It's typically more like...

Re: British Citizenship by Discretion (CBR post 1982)

Unfortunately they will take that registration fee whether your application is successful or not but it does show that your application is 'in the system' to be processed.

Re: First UK passport application for dual citizens

That's only for Group 3 - aka high risk - countries. You're very unlikely to need those if you were born in, and applying from, Canada.

Re: Section 4L (ARD) advice - Born 1992 - Grandmother born in UK

1. Your birth post-1988 does make it significantly more difficult I'm afraid.

Re: Form UKM eligibility - grandmother born UK 1912, need (I was born before 198
