British Overseas Territories Citizens (BOTCs)

British Overseas Territories Citizens (BOTCs) are individuals linked to the UK’s overseas territories—like Bermuda, Gibraltar, or the Falkland Islands—through historical or constitutional ties. They are a distinct nationality status established to recognize those connected to these territories but not as British citizens. BOTCs may have limited rights within the UK or other countries, depending on specific agreements, and often need to apply for visas or residence rights. This status helps distinguish their relationship with the UK from full British citizenship, reflecting their unique legal and historical ties to the British Overseas Territories.
