Can someone who understands the mechanics of this ELI5 how this works? so the parent is a UK citizen but can't pass his citizenship on to his children? And his future wife is a taiwanese citizeen, but because he would have to enlist in the taiwanese army to become a citizen, they cannot raise their family there? Can someone flesh out the details for the clueless and unworldly like myself? What part do each of these things play in the parent posters predicament vis a vis starting a family: a) Being born in Switzerland
b) Parents being British
c) Parents being French residents
d) Girlfriend being Taiwanese
e) Mandatory Taiwanese Conscription Laws What UK law prevents parent from marrying his GF and raise his children in the UK? Why can't he live in Taiwan as an expat and not join the army? |

It is very difficult to immigrate into the UK. This is because fucking idiot racists appear to be influential in the polls, and governments keep tightening the requirements to appease the racists.
OP is a British citizen. OP is a British citizen by descent, which means their children are not automatically British citizens. OP's future wife is not a British citizen.
If OP wishes to move his wife and children here for more than 6 months they need a family visa. https://www.gov.uk/uk-family-visa
The family visa has minimum income requirements. https://www.gov.uk/uk-family-visa/proof-income
For the spouse you need a combined income of £18,600. If you already have children you need an additional £3,800 for the first child, and £2,400 for each additional children.
The rules for who is or isn't a UK citizen are quite complicated. Being born in the UK is neither required nor sufficient to get citizenship. If British parents give birth abroad their child will be British by descent. That child's children will be British if born in the UK, but not if born outside the UK.
