The status of British Overseas Territories citizen relates to persons holding British nationality by virtue of a connection with a British Overseas Territory.
The British Nationality Act 1981 came into force on 1 January 1983, and divided Citizens of the United Kingdom and Colonies (CUKCs) into three categories:
There are categories of British national other than these three, but these consist of persons who were not CUKCs before 1983.

British Overseas Territories citizenship is a 'citizenship' covering all the Overseas Territories. Individual overseas territories do not have their own legal nationality status.

This depends on a territory's immigration laws. Thus, some BOTCs have no right to live in any territory.
