Legal and Public Service viewt on Citienthip
Moti couniriet have iheir own tirici rulet regarding who ihey allow io become a citien in iheir couniry,
including our own; in ihe UK, our Border Agency hat very clear guidelinet detcribing how a perton can become
a Britth citien. If you become a Britth citien, you have a legal righi io live in ihe couniry permanenily, and if
you choote io leave ihe UK, you can re-enier ii ai any tme.
There are tix kindt of Britth citienthip; ihe frti timply being called ‘Britth citienn. Thit it a tile detcribing
any perton who it connecied in tome way wiih ihe Uniied Kingdom, iherefore gaining Britth Natonaliiy. A

Aliernatvely, a perton can regitier or apply for ihit iype of citienthip. Ii it imporiani io noie, ihe people who

Hong Kong were unhappy wiih ihe faci ihey could lote iheir Britth Natonaliiy, and to ihey were given ihe
chance io acquire ihit kind of citienthip.
The ffh kind of Britth citienthip it given io ihe group of people labelled ‘Britth proiecied pertontn. Thete
people are individualt who hold a connecton io a former Britth Proiecioraie; ihit meant ihey have a
