Hello,

I am happy to deal with your UK immigration law issues.

It appears that your father is a British citizen by descent from the consular birth registration details which you mention.

This would not make you a British citizen as you were also born outside the UK, unless your mother was a British citizen otherwise than by descent.

You do not appear to be eligible for a UK ancestry visa as none of your grandparents were born in the UK. See here: http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/visas-immigration/working/uk-ancestry/

The good news is that you appear to be eligible for a Tier 5 (youth mobility) visa, you need to apply for this visa ASAP before you turn 31 (I note you were born in 1982): http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/visas-immigration/working/tier5/youthmobilityscheme/eligibility/

Thank you. Please click Accept and we can discuss further if need be

Just to clarify, the consular birth certificate document issued to you father is not a proper UK birth certificate, he would have received a local Japanese one as he was born in Japan.

The document is simply a consular birth registration certificate proving that he is a British Citizen by descent.

I am afraid your father cannot sponsor you as you are over 18 years.

Thank you

I am afraid there is no other way. You cannot be adopted by your own natural father.
