UK Visas and Immigration,

Dear Syed Faghurudeen,
 
Thank you for your enquiry dated the 2nd August regarding citizenship.
 
1.  Who has the right of abode?
 
Section 2(1) of the 1971 Act, as amended by s.39(2) of the British Nationality Act 1981 (BNA 1981), defines the two categories of people
who currently have the right of abode:

* British citizens
* Commonwealth citizens who had the right of abode immediately before 1 January 1983 and who have not, since then, ceased to be
Commonwealth citizens

[1]https://www.gov.uk/government/publicatio...
 
2.  The British government currently allows dual nationality.  You are advised to contact the authorities of any country which you hold
citizenship to confirm as to whether they themselves allow dual nationality. 
 
Further information about dual nationality may be found at:
 
[2]www.gov.uk/government/publications/dual-citizens
 
3.  British (or Commonwealth nationals) with the right of abode, who are also foreign nationals may have a certificate of entitlement
inserted into their foreign passport. But a certificate of entitlement cannot be issued if the person already holds a current British
citizen passport or a valid certificate of entitlement in another passport.

Dear UK Visas and Immigration,

Please let me reply to this as I previously requested point 4 as below:
“4.If a person who produce the authority letter from residing country confirming that he/she lost his/her citizenship upon attained he age of majority(18)whether the matter typed on the letter head paper only accepted?as a normal practice to issue such letter which contains all details except the ministry logo.“

Please reply to the above that whether it is acceptable or not.

And please clarify to my point 2 That whether is it correct to object to issue certificate of entitlement to Indian passport which was obtained after the certificate of registration as British Citizen(who never held British passport or certificate of entitlement).

Yours sincerely,

Syed Faghurudeen
