Children Born Outside the UK to Non-British Parents
If a child is born outside the UK to non-British parents, the child does not automatically have any immigration status in the UK. The parents may need to apply for a visa for the child to enter the UK, typically as a dependent. The type of visa will depend on the parents’ immigration status, such as a family visa, work visa, or a settled status. If the parents later obtain settled status or citizenship, the child may become eligible for British citizenship.
