Hi,

I am a foreign national. If I acquire the British passport, does it mean I will automatically become UK domiciled? thanks a lot

No Domicile is normally linked to your father and the place you were raised,

The acquisition, per se, of a British passport does not precipitate a UK domicile.

It is one factor that would be taken into account on any such determination.
