Australian Dual Citizens Entering UK after February

At least the UK passport is considerably cheaper. Also allows visa free entry to some countries that the Aussie one doesn't, like Turkey for example.

For those living in AU, Vietnam perhaps is the biggest benefit for visa free.

I'm half way through waiting for 2 passports for the kids.

Sent everything

Got an email this morning asking for documents I'd already sent and claiming one of my kids was adopted (so then lots more paperwork)

Fun times

We leave in 4 weeks........

Finally making news in the UK, but news here is focusing on British people living in the EU, for whom it should at least be a bit easier to obtain passports if needed.

I think the issue will be for the children of British dual citizens who have never bothered with it or maybe even knew about their potential issue.

It's going to be a bit of a stretch though for immigration in UK to assess a girl born into an Aussie family where the mother is British dual, daughters birth name is in the 'Aussie - Fathers name' and who then gets married and changes her name - so two steps from Brit mums name.
