The father of the child is British, born in Nigeria. His first born will be born in Dubai. I understand the baby has the same passport as his father (British). Will the baby's passport be a British citizen's passport or a British subject's passport. What is the difference. We want the baby to live in the UK later on and have the same rights as his parents. I am confused and would welcome some guidance. Thank you. if a child is born outside uk, and then has a child it must be born in the uk otherwise it will have to go through all the red tape and not get a brit passport automatically. my 2nd son was born in abu dhabi, and his children must be born in uk to qualify automatically for a brit passport

if the bub hasn't yet been born, best get back to the UK quick and deliver there.

Mmm they 'might' give an overseas passport, but it has no entitlement to citizenship or residency in the UK.

Not sure if it is any help but... I am born and bred British (my parents the same), husband has British passport, but also born in Africa (parents also born in a different country but grandparents born and bred British I think), daughter born in Dubai and she has a British passport and can therefore live in the UK. However, technically, her children would have to be born in Britain for them to have a British passport if the baby's father wasn't British. Sorry if I have confused you even more...? What nationality is the baby's mother as that counts now (as in our case) whereas it didn't used to? Think that's what i said.... basically only one generation can be born out of the UK.......

i understood that the baby is not entitled to a british passport. I understood that the children of parents that weren't born in the UK had to be born in the UK to qualify - could be wrong thou.
