• Citizens at independence (jus soli limb): every person who, having been born in Saint Christopher and Nevis, was immediately before 19 Sep 1983 a British citizen or British Dependent Territories citizen became a citizen on 19 Sep 1983 (Constitution s.90(a)). - Citizens at independence (registration/naturalisation/adoption-abroad limb): every person born outside SKN who, immediately before 19 Sep 1983, was a British / British Dependent Territories citizen by virtue of registration or naturalisation in SKN, or by virtue of adoption in SKN in a manner recognised by law, became a citizen on 19 Sep 1983 (Constitution s.90(b)). - Citizens at independence (descent-via-parent limb, the transitional 'descent' anchor): a person who was, immediately before 19 Sep 1983, a British / British Dependent Territories citizen and either of whose parents becomes (or but for death/renunciation would have become) a citizen under s.90(a),(b) or (d) became a citizen on 19 Sep 1983 (Constitution s.90(c) — the descent limb, where the parent became a citizen by s.90(a),(b) or (d)). NOTE: s.90(d) is the distinct MARRIAGE-at-independence limb (a person who is or was married to an s.90(a)/(b)/(c) citizen), and s.90(g) is the s.113(10) 'belonger' independence limb. This is the s.90(c) descent anchor the official descent route invokes. - Citizens at independence (descent-via-grandparent limb): any person who was, immediately before 19 Sep 1983, a British / British Dependent Territories citizen and one of whose grandparents becomes (or but for death/renunciation would have become) a citizen under s.90(a) or (b) became a citizen on 19 Sep 1983 (Constitution s.90(f)). This is the s.90(f) grandparent anchor cited by the official descent route — operative only as a one-time transitional vesting, NOT a continuing grandparent-descent right. - Citizens at independence (minor-child limb): every person who, immediately before 19 Sep 1983, was under 18 and was the child of a person who becomes (or but for death/renunciation would have become) a citizen under any of the preceding s.90 paragraphs became a citizen on 19 Sep 1983 (Constitution s.90(h)). - Anguilla bridge limb: every person who was born, adopted, registered or naturalised in Anguilla before 19 Dec 1980 and ordinarily resident in SKN since a date earlier than that, and who was immediately before 19 Sep 1983 a British / British Dependent Territories citizen, became a citizen on 19 Sep 1983 (Constitution s.90(e)); and any period ordinarily resident in Anguilla before 19 Dec 1980 counts as residence in SKN for the 14-year Commonwealth registration rule (Constitution s.92(4)).
