British Dual Nationals Could Use Expired Passports To Enter U.K.
Expired British passports may be accepted at carriers' discretion if paired with a valid visa-free passport, addressing travel issues for dual nationals under the ETA system.
- With the ETA roll‑out next week, the UK Home Office and Ryanair said expired British passports may be accepted for British dual nationals without valid UK passports.
- Because the ETA form cannot register `British` as an additional nationality, many British dual nationals cannot truthfully complete applications using a non‑UK passport, causing confusion since ETA's launch.
- Carriers may, at their discretion, accept an expired British passport if presented with a valid passport from a visa-free country and matching biographic details.
- Those lacking updated papers risk denied boarding or false declaration accusations without a new passport or Certificate of Entitlement , but can apply for an emergency travel document.
- Border Force will still assess arrivals and may carry out additional checks, while dual nationals told The Local they felt `punished for having dual citizenship` amid carriers' discretion causing uncertainty.
