Visa requirements for British Overseas Territories citizens

A British Overseas Territories citizen holds British nationality by virtue of a connection with a British Overseas Territory.

British Overseas Territories citizens (BOTCs) enjoy visa-free entry to a number of countries and territories. However, in some cases, foreign authorities only grant them a visa-free entry if they present a passport with an endorsement stating their right of abode in the United Kingdom.

Visa requirements for other classes of British nationals such as British citizens, British Nationals (Overseas), British Overseas citizens, British Protected Persons or British Subjects are different.

Passports
British passports issued to British Overseas Territories Citizens include:
 * 🇦🇮 Anguillian passport
 * 🇧🇲 Bermudian passport
 * British Virgin Islands passport
 * 🇰🇾 Caymanian passport
 * 🇬🇮 Gibraltar passport
 * 🇲🇸 Montserratian passport
 * Pitcairn Islands passport
 * Saint Helena passport
 * 🇹🇨 Turks and Caicos Islands passport

Entry to the United Kingdom
BOTCs only have visa-free entry to the UK if they have a certificate of right of abode or if they have obtained and are travelling on a full British Citizen passport. Otherwise a visa is not required for a visit of up to six months, for example as a General Visitor or as a Short-Term Student, but a visa is required for other study, for work, for joining family or for any other stay of more than six months.

Right to consular protection
When in a country where there is no British embassy, British Overseas Territories citizens may get help from the embassy of any other Commonwealth country present in that country. There are also informal arrangements with some other countries, including Australia, to help British nationals in some countries.
