Saint Helena passports are issued to St Helenians, a unique status recognised by the Government of St Helena, and gained through birth, descent, or application.^[1] Those holding this status are British Overseas Territories Citizens connected to Saint Helena,^[1] formerly known as British Dependent Territories Citizens.
