Electronic Travel Authorisations: Dual Nationality
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will consider establishing a grace period following the full enforcement of Electronic Travel Authorisation checks for children living abroad who hold dual citizenship having inherited British citizenship from a parent who do not have British passports and have pre-booked visits to the UK in the next three months.
Answered by Mike Tapp
We have been clear on the requirement for dual British citizens, including children and families, to travel with a valid British passport or Certificate of Entitlement. Dual British citizens should prove their permission to travel and enter the UK with a valid British passport or a passport containing a Certificate of Entitlement (CoE) to the right of abode. 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.
