@B_Disappointed @JamesCrisp6 As a British Overseas Territory they have the right to control their own immigration even against British Citizens, you have no right to live in Bermuda, British Virgin Islands, Anguilla either etc.

@visionworkstv @Saraita101 That is the wording of the GFA but ultimately the choice is whether to apply for a passport or not, almost everyone is born with both citizenships regardless of whether you then go on to apply for the relevant passport.

@stevensanPH @ladtonka @CraigHouston_ He is a commonwealth citizen with leave to remain in the UK.

[alxgrd20 @alxgrd20]

@CraigHouston_ I am by no means excusing this but for anyone actually wondering how he is allowed to run, he is a commonwealth citizen with leave to remain. He is not on a student visa as he has finished his PhD but rather a 3-year graduate visa with no restriction on hours you can work.

@OzgeKatip @yuanyi_z All BOTC (except those connected to Akrotiri and Dhekelia) automatically became British Citizens in 2002 under the British Overseas Territories Act 2002, so the only people remaining who are BOTC but not British Citizens are those who naturalised or registered as BOTC after 2002.

[alxgrd20 @alxgrd20]

@StrategyBin @allmouthand @yuanyi_z BOTCs who aren’t British Citizens can register as a British Citizen under section 4A of the British Nationality Act 1981 whenever they wish, except those connected with Akrotiri and Dhekelia.

[alxgrd20 @alxgrd20]

@allmouthand @yuanyi_z Yes? That confirms exactly what I said, all BOTC became British Citizens on commencement of the act.

@DavidOc48786613 @ukhomeoffice The first sensible reply to this post! I am in a similar situation. It is a shame it isn't cheaper, though.

@Beetaa79 @ukhomeoffice It was a DUP bill mutually agreed upon by the entire house of commons.

[alxgrd20 @alxgrd20]

@Stu_Mid @ukhomeoffice Yes, if you move to Ireland and live there for five years, you can naturalise.

[alxgrd20 @alxgrd20]

@PaulMcM2024 @ukhomeoffice It is actually a DUP bill. It does not make it any easier for Irish people to come to the UK. Since 1923, it has already been possible to move to the UK and start working, voting, claiming benefits, etc. the very next day.

[alxgrd20 @alxgrd20]

@ecossefifa @ukhomeoffice Yes, if you live in Ireland for five years then you can naturalise.

[alxgrd20 @alxgrd20]

@dublincomments @ukhomeoffice The first person who actually understands it's a DUP bill and not some Home Office mass migration scheme...

[alxgrd20 @alxgrd20]

@vivamjm @ukhomeoffice This is to do with naturalisation, not descent, British people naturalising in Ireland already don't have to do a life test or language test. Irish citizenship by descent is also currently more lenient than British citizenship by descent.

@DunkMontagu @ukhomeoffice The DUP

[alxgrd20 @alxgrd20]

@josephinejarrow @DunkMontagu @ukhomeoffice It is actually a DUP bill you nut.

[alxgrd20 @alxgrd20]

@FlavellG @ukhomeoffice Irish people have always been able to live and work in the UK, just as British people can live and work in Ireland, this changes nothing.

[alxgrd20 @alxgrd20]

@TobyCouchman @ukhomeoffice It is reciprocal, you can move to Ireland tomorrow, live there for five years, then naturalise as Irish.
