British Nationality Law

British Nationality Law governs the criteria and processes for acquiring British citizenship, which includes rights to live, work, and vote in the UK. It encompasses various categories, such as citizenship by birth, descent (having a British parent), registration (for certain people like children and spouses of British citizens), and naturalization (for foreign nationals who meet residency requirements). Key laws include the British Nationality Act 1981 and amendments over time. The law also addresses the status of British Overseas Territories and other arrangements for individuals with ties to the UK.
