British Nationality
Nationality law has spread too many regulations and most of what is written. This situation changed with the adoption of a British citizen and the state of the rights of foreigners in 1914. It is the first codified law in Great Britain. The British Nationality laws are the most complex in the world because of its former imperial power. There was always a difference in English law between the subjects of the monarchy and foreigners.
After registering a five-year residency in the United Kingdom, a people can have British Nationality recognition. This registration process is very simple, but only certain people can get it.
The people, who do not speak English, use the word of nationality in the local language and they follow the principle of law on citizenship. The nationality can not be changed for at least a generation, but can be adopted to accept a person in a national community. This principle has the potential to create a legal consideration, instead of following the law.
In the mid-1970s the British Government decided to update the nationality code, which had been significantly amended since the British Nationality Act 1948 came into force on 1 January 1949. In 1977, a Green Paper was produced outlining options for reform of the nationality code. This was followed in 1980 by a White Paper containing the government's specific plans for change. The British Nationality Act 1981 received Royal Assent on 30 October 1981 and came into force on 1 January 1983.
Subsequently, the British Nationality Act has been significantly amended, including:
1) British Nationality (Falkland Islands) Act 1983
2) Hong Kong Act 1985 and Hong Kong (British Nationality) Order 1986
3) British Nationality (Hong Kong) Act 1990, which introduced the British Nationality Selection Scheme
4) Hong Kong (War Wives and Widows) Act 1996
5) British Nationality (Hong Kong) Act 1997
6) Adoption (Intercountry Aspects) Act 1999
7) British Overseas Territories Act 2002
8) Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002
9) Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Act 2006
10) Borders, Citizenship and Immigration Act 2009
