Born UK in 1990.Only have Uk birth cert.All other ID is Malaysian.Am I entitled to any edu or residency in UK?
Answers:
OK
These are two very different questions.
The citizenship one depends on the status of your parents when you were born.
see here
This is an extract about the immigration act of 1981
------------------------------.
Other criticisms were levied at the time at the removal of the automatic right to citizenship by birth in the United Kingdom. However, due to the fact that UK-born children of permanent residents are automatically British, the number of non-British children born in the United Kingdom is relatively small. Special provisions made in the Act for those who do not have another nationality, and for those who live a long time in the United Kingdom, have meant there is little pressure for any change to the current law.

What it seems to say is that ONLY if your parents were permanent residents in the UK at the time of your birth are you entitled to UK citizenship automatically.
==============================.
In terms of education in the EU this is mostly done on residency and not on nationality.
In the most part this means that you have to be "Normally Resident" in the EU for the three years previous to your date of application. This does not include a student visa.
Here is what Oxford University has to say. (This is a bit tricky to read but it says everything you might need to know)

Good Luck !
if you were born in the uk and have a uk birth certificate then you are a british citizen and you are entitled to residency
Check with the embassy but I can't see why you wouldn't be able to live here.
I have a friend whose mum is English but dad is Malaysian and he's always been able to work here.
if you were born in the uk and have a uk birth certificate ,there shouldn't be any problem ,but check it out at the embassy
Do you have Malaysian Citenship or PR. If you do, you may not be entitled to free tertiary education in the UK. Best way to find out is to check with the British Embassy. Sounds like you're only 16 now.. if so, best way to go about it is to come to the UK for your A-Levels and live here for a couple years first.. after that you'll probably be entitled to free tertiary education.
If you have dual citizenship, do bear in mind that you have to give one up when you turn 18 as the Malaysian government does not recognise dual citizenship. Got a choice to make there.
Yes if you were born in the UK you are entitled to live there. Do you have a current european passport? That would make it easier.check into it. Uni education in the uk like everywhere isnt free..but yes you are entitled.
Hey, Same here. I'm born in London in 1986, both of my parents are Malaysian Chinese. A British birth certificate does not automatically mean that you are a British citizen.
However, it does mean that you have the advantages, assuming that both your parents are PR (Permanent Residents). Unlike the other foreign students, you can even work there while studying!!
If you were born in the UK, then you are a British Citizen, and are therefore entitled to a British passport and are entitled to live there.
If you're born in the UK to non British parents, you are not a British citizen. However, the authorities are more inclined to give you citizenship if you apply and therefore residency. There seems to an international agreement of some sort that allows people to take up citizenship of the country they were born in if they wish. As for education, once you have cizitenship I guess you would have the same rights of every other citizen.
