Visa requirements for British Overseas Citizens

British Overseas Citizenship is a form of British nationality under the British Nationality Act 1983. BOCs are British nationals but do not have the right of abode in the United Kingdom. This citizenship is normally for certain people who retained British nationality after independence (i.e Kenya), but do not have enough ties with the United Kingdom.
