Dual nationals need British documents by 25 February

Current regulations allowing entry on a second country's passport will expire under impending border measures. Affected citizens must instead present a valid £100 UK passport or a certificate of entitlement priced at £589. Individuals attempting to return without these specific papers risk being refused the right to travel home. The government claims these strict updates will modernise the immigration system alongside new electronic authorisations.
