Re: Brexit - British Embassy Open Forum

I even received a letter saying I still needed to make an appointment, while the website said they weren't taking appointments because of Corona. They got a phone call because of that.

Re: British TV in NL

Re: Renouncing British citizenship

Brexit made it on to Nieuwsuur last night - it rarely does. Passport issues were also touched on.

How much is the whole process costing you? I read somewhere that you also have to pay to renounce your British passport. Is that true?
