British Overseas Citizenship (BOC) is a form of British nationality defined in the British Nationality Act 1981. Those who hold BOC status are British nationals and are entitled to hold a British passport and to receive consular assistance overseas.
BOCs do not have the right of abode in the United Kingdom and are subject to immigration control, although some may be eligible to register as British citizens where they meet the relevant statutory requirements.
