I do find it very odd that you needed to...

Re: Update on Passport Requirements when entering the UK from February 2026

Re: ETA in effect for Canadians 25 February 2026

Yes of course they could renounce. Bit drastic though, as well as expensive and potentially long-drawn out. I have a friend in Aus who renounced his Brit citizenship many years ago because he was...

Re: Update on Passport Requirements when entering the UK from February 2026

Perfectly logical decision :) Personally I'm not eligible for an Irish one (unfortunately!) but I would keep the UK one valid as well for the same reason I always preferred t use it over my Aus one -...

Re: Update on Passport Requirements when entering the UK from February 2026

Certainly has advantages if you get an Irish passport. Personally I'd get both, cover all bases! The Irish one does give greater rights in Europe - live and work in the EU, just for starters.

Re: 25/2/2026: New rule for British dual nationals - must travel on UK passport

No problem

Re: 25/2/2026: New rule for British dual nationals - must travel on UK passport

You don't need to book two single flights.
If you need to enter a passport when booking a flight, enter one that the system accepts. This does not mean that you need to use that passport either when...

Re: Renewing UK passport

No. If one is a UK citizen, one needs to travel in/out of the UK on a UK passport. No different from the rules for the USA, Australia and Canada.

Re: 25/2/2026: New rule for British dual nationals - must travel on UK passport

If your wife is a UK citizen, she cannot hold a visa for the UK.
From the end of February she will need to use her UK passport to enter the UK.
