Nationality types of British immigrants

# British immigrants # Introduction Because Britain has a long colonial history, Britain's ethnic groups are relatively complex. Here's an introduction to the types of British nationality for immigrants. Welcome to read!

1, British nationality

This is the most common British nationality, which is usually acquired through links with the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man. Under the Immigration Act of 197 1, most British and colonial citizens who obtained the right of abode through their connection with British islands became British citizens after 1983 1. British citizens enjoy all legal rights and obligations.

2. Citizens of British Overseas Territories

British Overseas Territories citizens and British citizens can own it together. If you only have British Overseas Territory citizenship, you will be subject to immigration control and will not automatically have the right to live and work in the UK. In addition, the European Union (EU) does not recognize your British citizenship.

3. British overseas citizens

British overseas citizens are former British and colonial citizens who are not eligible for British citizenship or British overseas territory citizenship. Only under certain conditions can you apply to become a British overseas citizen. For example, you are stateless, but you were born in Britain or an overseas territory, and one of your parents is a British overseas citizen. Or you are stateless and born outside the UK or overseas territories, but one of your parents is a British overseas citizen and you have lived in the UK or overseas territories for more than 3 years.

4. British subjects

According to the British Nationality Act 198 1, a British national refers to a British national who has no British and colonial citizenship or citizenship of any country in the British Commonwealth. And since 1983, few people are eligible to become British subjects. If you are stateless, leave after 1983 1.

5. British protectionists

British protectionists, from the Central African Federation, are protectorates under the sovereignty of the British king-an independent country nominally protected by the British king. The status of British protected persons is quite special-they are neither Commonwealth citizens (or old British subjects) nor British nationals in the traditional sense, but they are also not foreigners. If you are stateless, born in Britain or British overseas territories, and either parent was a British protector at the time of birth, then you have the opportunity to apply to become a British protector.
