Children who are subject to immigration restrictions

To be eligible for the CTF a child must not be subject to any immigration restrictions.  Where a child does not have British parents and is born outside of the EU, including on a military base, they will be subject to immigration restrictions, unless of course they become a UK citizen. This means that they are not entitled to a CTF account, even if they are eligible for Child Benefit and therefore receive a voucher. This may be the case for some children of Ghurkha and Commonwealth soldiers.
