If so, then subject to other requirements you may have a claim to full British citizenship and British Passport! British citizens have the right to reside in the United Kingdom, Jersey, Guernsey, the Isle of Man and the Republic of Ireland, and until 31 December 2020, they may settle in an EU country or Switzerland.

If you were born in Hong Kong before July 1997 you might also have a claim to British citizenship or a British Passport if your parent or grandparent was born or adopted or granted nationality in the United Kingdom or a British territory outside Hong Kong before your birth.

Was your parent resident in the UK for work or study before 1983 in the United Kingdom? If so you may have an automatic claim to Right of Abode to be placed in your foreign passport.

Changes to the law on British nationality in recent years have created many new opportunities for British citizenship claims.  There are a wide variety of ways to potentially qualify through a parent, ancestor or colonial connection, and some routes are obscure and counterintuitive. Each situation has a potentially different outcome.
