Newjourney Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Hiya there, we are considering a move to Scotland and I was hoping to get some help with questions if possible. 1. I'm was born in Australia, my parents were both born in England - do I apply for a British passport and will this allow me to work and live in the uk without any issues such as proving funds to live? I'm confused about the ancestry visa - is this something else I need to apply for? 2. Husband was born in uk and moved to Australia 15 years ago, no longer has British passport, do we just need to get him a British passport and we are good for him to re enter without any issues? 3. We have two daughters born in Australia - do we need to get them both British passports? And not visas? 4. When arriving to the uk are we automatically covered by the nhs? Thanks so much for your help, these forums are fantastic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marisawright Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 All your husband needs to do is renew his passport. Your daughters should be eligible for British citizenship "by descent" because their father is British, so they should just apply for British passports. As for you, the rules changed in 1983, so if you were born before then, I'm not sure what your status is. I'm sure someone else will know! You will be able to access the NHS immediately under the reciprocal agreement with Australia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VERYSTORMY Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 You should be ok for citizenship, so will be eligible for a British passport. Your husband just needs to renew his passport. Your kids are eligible by decent, so also just need to apply for passports. you will all be eligible for NHS as British citizens as soon as you arrive.

I thought they've introduced a residency requirement now? It's not relevant anyway as even if they weren't citizens, they'd get it under the reciprocal agreement.
