Bulgaria Ski discussion board

Prior to 1 January 1949, the term "British subject" in British nationality law was used to describe any person who owed allegiance to the British Crown, wherever he was born in the British Commonwealth and Empire. Within the Empire, the only people who were not British subjects were the rulers of native states formally under the "protection" of the British Crown, and their peoples. Although their countries may for all practical purposes have been ruled by the imperial government, such persons are considered to have been born outside the sovereignty and allegiance of the British Crown, and were (and, where these persons are still alive, still are) known as British protected persons.

Should genrally apply to people from British India or Ireland who were born before 1st Jan 1949.
Okay I was born in the UK, moved to canada when i was little, and moved back here, my Dad was Canadian but moved here and had a british subject passport, because he was part of the commonwealth Community and lived here for a long time he was a british subject but not being born here he did not have the right to hold a british passport, he had to apply for visa's to enter places that british people don't.
Hope that made a bit of sense.
