Entry certificate

An entry certificate, under United Kingdom (UK) immigration legislation, is an entry clearance issued to a non-visa national.[1] Certain types of entry to the UK require the person seeking entry to have prior clearance before entering the UK, and because a non-visa national cannot be issued a visa, an entry certificate is issued instead based upon a parent or grandparent being born in the UK. It permits full unrestricted residence and work, and re-entry to the UK at all times, and the holder may apply for a National Insurance number immediately.
