The benefits of becoming a British citizen

The social order in Britain is stable, the average annual crime rate in Britain is low, people's lives are stable and orderly, and there is a complete and effective public security system in both commercial areas and residential areas. Good law and order, Britain is a country with a high degree of rule of law, respecting human rights and protecting private property. Can give children a happy childhood, western education attaches importance to cultivating children's independent thinking ability, creativity and practical ability.

British green card

The term "green card" comes from the fact that the documents issued by the United States to permanent residents are green, so China people are used to calling all foreign residency rights "green cards". However, permanent residents must meet certain conditions before they can apply for the nationality of that country, that is, acquire the nationality of that country. In other words, getting a "green card" is equivalent to getting a "permanent residence status". The green card in Britain is called: IndefiniteLeaveToRemain (permanent residence).

The English for permanent residence is IndefiniteLeaveToRemain or permanent residence, so it is usually called green card. Permanent residency is a right that allows people with permanent residency to live permanently in the country and enjoy the same treatment as citizens in many aspects. The right of permanent residence in the UK allows applicants to live permanently in the UK, but it should be noted that if they have not lived in the UK for more than 2 years, the right of permanent residence is likely to be revoked.

The difference between British green card and nationality

First of all, from the perspective of welfare policy.

Holders of permanent residence enjoy the same welfare benefits as British natives, including education, employment, income security, medical care and so on.

Two, British permanent residents and citizens enjoy different rights mainly as follows:

1, voting rights;

2. the right to be elected;

3. Being elected as a member of the jury;

4, engaged in some special work of the government (such as intelligence personnel).

These rights or obligations do not belong to permanent residents, but to citizens.

Third, the change of identity.

Once you get British citizenship, whether you live in the UK or not, you will remain British citizenship for life and be protected by British overseas consulates. If the green card holder is sentenced to more than 12 months in the UK, his green card will be revoked and his British citizenship cannot be revoked.

Fourth, the nationality of the child.

If one parent is a British green card holder and the child is born in the UK, then the child is a British citizen at birth; If the child was born in China, then the child is a China citizen, and of course he can apply for a British green card in the future; If one parent is a British citizen, no matter where the child was born (such as China), the child is a British citizen at birth (except in special circumstances, which need specific analysis).
