- British Citizenship Applications By Children
The children of British Citizens, settled persons and other qualifying sponsors can apply for a UK visa to join them and stay with them in the UK. It is easy to qualify for a child visa for the UK, where both parents of the child are lawfully in the UK. In most cases where both parents of the child are not lawfully in the UK and are no longer in a relationship with each other, the parent in the UK will have to show sole responsibility for the child to sponsor the child for a UK visa.

Applications By Surrogate Children
You can bring your surrogate child to the UK either by applying for a British passport/nationality or by applying for an appropriate UK visa to join you in the UK. If your surrogate gives birth abroad, you can only apply for a parental order if you and your partner are living in the UK. If the child is not a UK or EU national, they will need a visa to enter the UK during this process. Using a surrogate abroad can be complicated because different countries have different rules. You may want to get legal advice or contact The Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority for more information.
