Status and evidence
Right of abode concerns a person's right to live in the UK. It is not simply another name for a visitor visa, indefinite leave or possession of a British-looking family document.
A person may need to understand both whether the right exists and how it is evidenced. Those questions depend on the relevant nationality and personal history.
Dates, nationality and historical changes may be significant. A family connection alone does not establish the answer, and a general checklist cannot replace the status analysis.
