If they've stopped asking me what the name of the ship I came in on was, I'll do the application. I was 2 years old - how would I know? Also, because of British citizenship and having arrived before a certain cutoff date, I have all citizen rights, including voting. It's on my list and a friend and I are planning on doing it together.

As it was just the tranfer of a permanent return visa from one passport to another, it cost nothing except a bit of a wait at immigration.

I expect all passports are printed on special paper these days. I wonder if each country has different stuff and, if so, which has the most interesting pattern.
