Australian Dual Citizens Entering UK after February

[Noah Count]

So it has been a couple of days and others may not be willing to take the same risk as I did, but will post based on my experience. Reading the UK web sites I am a British Citizen based on the heredity rules, however this was my experience:

• Travelled to the UK on 26/2, the ETA was issued prior to rule enforcement .
• OLCI just worked and I had saved the BPs to my phone (just in case).
• I showed up at the airport to have my PP scanned, the only question I was asked, do you have a British PP. I answered ‘No’ as this is correct.
• Paper BP issued.
• Arrived in DXB and no issue with onward travel, allowed to board.
• Arrival in the UK just went through the line that allows UK + agreed countries, (AU, US, NZ, JP, KR etc.) without question and just let through.
• This was posted whilst in the UK after arrival.

Good news!

Wonder if there was something on your profile that made them ask "do you have a British passport?" or if that's now the standard question they're asking everyone!?
