British Nationalities - Broker Portal update

Following a review, we will shortly update our Broker Portal to include all types of British nationality. You can find further information on the different types of British nationality here - www.gov.uk/types-of-british-nationality.

Please note, applicants who hold passports showing the following British nationalities and are resident outside of the UK, will be considered as an international resident and will be subject to our international criteria and products, as they do not have an automatic right to reside in the UK:

  • British overseas territories citizen
  • British overseas citizen
  • British subject
  • British national (overseas)
  • British protected person

Please ensure that the nationality selected when completing an application matches what is shown on the applicant’s passport.

The above change will be implemented with effect from tomorrow, 16th July 2020. Please note that all existing cases that have a valid decision in principle will be honoured. Full details of all our products and criteria can be found here.

Thank you for your continued support and patience during these exceptional times. Our teams remain available to deal with your queries via phone and email, details of which can be found here.
