It is my understanding that any kids will have UK citizenship if a) they are born in the UK or b) **you** have lived in the UK for 3 years

Neither is true sadly...

Really? Not doubting you, but I went through the paperwork for my son at the end of 2015 so am taken aback!

Oh I realize I was unclear. I meant kids born to a British citizen by descent. Had to telegraph a bit due to character limits.

Joe means if I have kids in my home country, had I not moved to UK 10+ years ago, they would not have been British (no, thanks anyway).

That's still one less right btw. Just not applicable to me any more.

Yeah... eg my mother is british but can't vote in the netherlands (too british) or the UK (too much abroad). Despite brexit being about her.
