    Ooh, meet a girl at the embassy. Applying for fiance visa her son has British passport after 3 weeks in UK. But before the boy travel to UK from Philippines he has right of abode stamp. So it is possible to have right of abode first and then apply in the UK for passport.

    UK Passport or Right of Abode stamp in Filipino passport?

    My (limited) experience is that if you
    have plenty of money and want to go to UK quickly, best to get a UK ROA in your Filipino passport and apply for a uk passport later. It's easier and quicker to get the ROA in Philippines (but I don't have experience of this) .

    If you are
    1. not rich
    2. you have a UK/irish/american friend countersignatory who knows you both. (Or just knows the UK father if you make an overseas application from a UK address)
    3. It's not urgent

    Then Apply for a UK passport.

    If you are based in Philippines, finding a Uk/irish/American countersignatory can be problematic. You don't need this for a ROA.
    It will take a few months and maybe the UK passport office will ask for extra papers.
