BOTCs only have visa-free entry to the UK if they have a certificate of
right of abode or if they have obtained and are travelling on a full
British Citizen passport. Otherwise a visa is not required for a visit of up to six months, for example as a General Visitor or as a Short-Term Student, but a visa is required for other study, for work, for joining family or for any other stay of more than six months. ==Right to consular protection==
