Re: Registering with the Foreign and Commonwealth Office
Form apparently designed by a moron, it tells me that I have to have TWO nationalities in the passport section.
There are 2 required answers... the first I state "BC* for Brit Cit
& then below it it asks for nationality if NOT a BC... which is also a required answer.
WTF?

Link to the Foreign and Commonwealth office site for those who wish to register
I emailed them regarding the fact that you have to give a return date and received a really nice mail back stating that they are aware of this and are working on updating the system for overseas residents
In the meantime if you wish to register just
Go to 'Add new trip' on your registrant profile page. On the form for adding a trip:
[*]choose the appropriate destination
[*]Set the 'Duration' option as 'at least 90 days'
[*]Set the arrival and departure dates one year apart
You can also add family members to your account
Hope this helps those who are interested.
