Immigration Controls: Dual Nationality
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps her Department has taken to ensure timely and accessible communication of changes to travel and entry requirements for dual nationals, including communication aimed at families with children and non-English speakers.
Answered by Mike Tapp
The Home Office has embedded clear messaging for dual nationals across the ETA communications campaign, and published comprehensive guidance on GOV.UK setting out clearly what dual citizens need to do. We have published an ETA guide for dual nationals on gov.uk, including at: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/electronic-travel-authorisation-eta-guide-for-dual-citizens . There is also guidance on GOV.UK to help people determine whether they or their family members qualify for British citizenship at: https://www.gov.uk/check-british-citizenship.
We have provided explicit written and spoken guidance to people who naturalise or register as British citizens, including through their application and at citizenship ceremonies, and since the start of the year we have also emailed people who have registered or naturalised in the last 10 years where we hold useable contact details, to alert them to the changing requirements.
