British Dependent Territories Citizenship was introduced
to provide a distinct citizenship for those citizens of
the United Kingom and Colonies who held that status through
a connection with a Dependent Territory. This may be by birth, registration or
naturalisation in a dependent territory or by descent
from a person born, registered or naturalised in a
dependent territory. In practical terms the introduction
of British Dependent Territories Citizenship did nothing to
alter the immigration status of persons who acquired that
citizenship.
