Air-born topic

A couple of years ago a friend of mine wanting to go to the UK who was only 7 months along was told she would have to take a ship if she wanted to cross the Atlantic. I have not checked, but maybe domestic flights are different. 8O

My Great-Grandfather was born at sea while his family was immigrating to the United States. His Father was from Donegal, Ireland and his mother was from Glasgow, Scotland.

Interesting. So what was your Great-Grandfather's 'official' place of birth then? The place they moved to?

Citizenship is subject to being naturalised or being born of citizens. Some countries afford people the right of citizenship if they are born there, but this depends on the countries and they are not necessarily domicile. You have to register for citizenship and passport. It is possible to have joint nationality

My father has Chillan passport, despite not being Chilean. He just happened to be born there. He also has a British passport and he was a career diplomat. Children of diplomats are automatically aborted citizenship of their country regardless of whether they were born. He was consul is Johannesburg at the time. He could sign my birth certificate but he could sign other British subjects. It was a turbulent time with relations with SA and UK at the time, so I was not resisted for some week, when he could get to the capital.

Some countries don’t allow joint citizenship, but they might not get that information.

I have a friend who was born in Australia while his dad was there on a student visa from the Phillipines. He didn't have any citizenship anywhere until he became a citizen of the U.S. when he was about 18.
