Now, one more question. Will my wife and kids be entitled to apply for British passports and citizenship, based on the fact that I am a British Citizen by birth
And can they apply at anytime, or do they only apply after we arrive to settle in the UK? I do understand that they will obviously have to apply for a section 6 from SA to keep their SA citizenship and passports.?.
They will have to apply for a visa as accompanying a British citizen. They will have to apply for this before coming to the UK. They will then be given a one year visa. At the end of the year, they will need to reapply for what is called indefinite leave to remain. Then, after 5 years they can apply for a UK passport.
If you read some of the threads on this section, you will find many of the answers to your questions
