Loss of BOTC
BOTC can be lost involuntarily through
- deprivation under conditions similar to those for British citizens
- independence of the territory concerned
The provisions for renunciation and resumption of BOTC mirror those for British citizenship. See British nationality law
Acquisition of a foreign citizenship does not cause loss of BOTC, however it may cause loss of Belonger status depending on the laws of the territory concerned.

—J. Ellen Foster (1840–1910)
“The loss of my sight was a great fillip. If I could go deaf and dumb I think I might pant on to be a hundred.”
—Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)
