Re: Owned container for move to UK

Ah, ok.

Hopefully someone from...

Re: Tor form for household goods - how precise needed?

Twitcher's post is exactly how to do it. They don't need precise details of every little item. My list was exactly the same:
Paperbacks 250
Basic diy tools 8

Approx 60 cutlery items,
Approx 12 mugs/cups
Approx 20 assorted glasses
Approx 30 china dishes/plates

Re: Dual citizen flying to UK

You can use either passport on the booking, as it doesn't have any bearing on the one you actually show to immigration at either end.

Re: ETA in effect for Canadians 25 February 2026

I have to say I agree with Rete; there is an element of pride in your country, of being a citizen of your country, and with me holding that passport reflects my pride in it.

Re: De Facto Partner Visa

Not really enough info to go on. However the age of the Brit is irrelevant if going for a de facto visa, so thats a good start.

Beyond that though, it depends on the exact status of the NZ...

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

Then if Ryanair's website accepts the UK passport for both trips, enter that.

You do not have to use the same passport at check-in, or at Immigration.

Re: Are Initial Leave to Enter/FLR/ILR getting easier?

A bit OT, but I'm a member of a couple aimed at immigration to Australia. I find a lot of the content concerning, based on my years on BE. As you'll be aware, on here when people post answers which...

Re: Are Initial Leave to Enter/FLR/ILR getting easier?

Can't speak for NZ, but Aus would probably stop you on entry after a few trips as it will look like you are trying to live there on a visitor visa, which is a strict no-no. Also you would need to...
