Here’s a forces brat nationality question that comes a bit out of left-field: Can a British Forces brat born overseas qualify for an Irish passport?
Here’s my thinking – if you are born on a British overseas base you are issued with a UK birth certificate, and so you are officially from the UK.
UK = being either English, Scottish, Welsh or Northern Irish, but in being born outside of the UK you will have none of those nations listed on your birth certificate.
Now, that being so and given that you have to be from one of the four constituent countries by definition of being ‘British’, can you elect which part of the UK you wish to be from?
If so, could you elect to be from Northern Ireland and so qualify for an Irish passport?
