Re: Dual Citizens with expired UK passports

Anecdotally I believe its quite rare, most people aren't even aware that you can renounce, it just wouldn't occur to them.
Its not a requirement to renounce when taking Aus citizenship, but I had a...

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

I've just answered you on the other thread, but basically, you'll be fine.

You are entering before the rule change, effectively as an Aus tourist, Technically you should leave on a UK passport,...

Re: ETA - Dual citizens must have valid UK passport

Nothing will happen. You are entering as a tourist from Aus, before the passport rule changes.
You might choose to renew your UK passport while you're there, if its easier for you.

Re: Holiday in Aus with lapsed permanent residency

Likewise, she could apply for a RRV, though personally I think her chances are thin. And as with you getting a holiday visa, if she gets a WHV it would probably over-ride the permanent residence. ...

Re: Renewing British passport from overseas

Not come across that before and every forum on here has numerous passport questions. All of them mention the passport being delivered to their homes.

Re: Australian Superannuation, what to do with it?

Can't help you there I'm afraid, though other posters may be able to.
I was old enough when I left to withdraw the whole lot, and turn it all into savings, so no tax implications as I moved it home...

Re: What to do with financial affairs prior/during migration?
