Pls your advise and kind suggestions will be appreciated.I was born in the United Kingdom after 1983 (i'm over 18). I want to apply for right of abode, but i'm not sure whether i'm eligible as a british citizen for the application. My parents had a visiting visa at the time of my birth. I dont know whether that qualifies me for the application. Right now i'm confused cos i dont know what to do, Is my birth certificate alone okay to prove that i'm a british citizen? Anyone who can please, please advise me. thank you |

If your parents only had a visiting visa If neither father or mother was a British citizen when you were born Then you are not a British Citizen and have no right to reside. Do you have any papers like birth certificate or immigration papers showing your right to be called a British citizen? What was the status of you parents when you were born. Did the just come to UK to get you born on UK health service? |

@WORRY246, thanks for ur reply. I don't have any immigration papers showing i'm a british citizen. I just have my birth certificate and i felt that would be enough. I don't know the status surronding my parent's stay in the Uk. (pls can you explain what you meant by the status of my parents when i was born) But since i just have my birth certificate would you advise me to apply or its not worth it? |

were you raised in the UK? also, the home office should have more info on their website, i think. |

' poster you can apply for a visiting visa and come to uk to live use d birth certificate to work and just reside in uk for a couple of years before applying for indefinite however the uk embassy might be reluctant to give you a visa from naija but that might be your best bet |
