British Dependent Territories citizens are individuals who hold citizenship in the territories that are under British sovereignty but are not part of the United Kingdom itself. These territories include places like Bermuda, Gibraltar, and the Falkland Islands. The citizenship status was established in 1983, allowing residents of these territories to have certain rights and privileges. This citizenship allows individuals to live and work in the United Kingdom and provides access to British consular services. However, it is important to note that British Dependent Territories citizens do not automatically have the same rights as full British citizens, particularly regarding voting and political representation.
