If however your parents are british citizens and you were born here, then you automatically get it.
We covered all this in the immigration thread.
If your grandparents were british, then you can apply for an ancestry visa which is what my gf is over here on.
It means you can work and pay tax, but have no access to public funds, ie no job seekers allowance, no housing benifits, etc.
After that you can apply for indefinite leave to remainwhich means you are a foreign national who is allowed to live in this country for an unlimited period.
And then you can apply for british citizenship.
