“My children got their British passports while we are still in Nigeria. It was delivered to our doorstep. Yes, their British passports was delivered to out doorstep while we are still in Nigeria and we did not pay any agent any fee.
“We didn’t pay for anything, we didn’t use any agent. Nothing. We did everything ourselves because my husband found this very cool website that all the information you need to travel – whatever visa you need, whether visiting visa, spouse visa, whatever information you need is there.
“They tell you step by step what to do. Just follow the instructions. We didn’t pay any agent…”
Speaking further, she revealed she had her kids in Nigeria and set up her business in a way it can be run from the UK where she is now based.
“I gave birth to them in Nigeria, and they got their British passport in Nigeria, their dad is British, he was the one that applied for the passport in UK, and it was brought to us in Nigeria.”
UK government’s provision about British passport acquisition
On the UK government website, one can be eligible for British citizenship if one has a British parent and in the lady’s case, her husband is a Briton.
“British citizenship is normally automatically passed down one generation to children born outside the UK.
“For example, you might automatically become a citizen if you’re born outside the UK to a British parent. But your children will not automatically be citizens if they’re born outside the UK.
“If you’re not automatically a citizen, you may be eligible to apply to ‘register’ as one,” further explanation on the website read.
