Can I get a British passport?

I am married to a british citizen can i get a british passport?

  • married in south africa, my husband now has a british passport can I get a british passport

  • Answer:

    Simple answer, not without gaining citizenship yourself. Just because you are married to a British Citizen does not make you a British citizen with the right to a British passport. You would have to be a British Citizen yourself, and for that you would have to go through the process of acquiring citizenship in your own right. You do however have the right to remain, I believe they call it. Which is because of your marriage to a British Citizen, you have the right to live here and work here etc.

No. Your husband will have to sponsor your immigration to UK. If you eventually get Indefinite Leave to Remain, and then fulfill all requirements to eventually obtain UK citizenship, then you can get a passport. Not until. From your question, it does not look like he's even gotten you a visa to enter UK yet. Without proper visa, you cannot even go to UK - despite your marriage.

you have to get british citizenship first. not sure if marriage in s africa is legally recognised in the UK. If it is, then you probably can, yes. But you need to get citizenship first, which you should be entitled to if your spouse is one, though it may require you to be a UK resident

eh!! Is he British because you say your husband NOW has a British passport?? They won't give you one if they find out you only married someone for the green card. Which is a good thing but they do not do enough to bottle neck the flow of immigration!! You are too vague!!

No, you need to live in the UK for three years with your husband and apply for British citizenship by naturalisation.
