Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will consider establishing a grace period following the full enforcement of Electronic Travel Authorisation checks for children living abroad who hold dual citizenship having inherited British citizenship from a parent who do not have British passports and have pre-booked visits to the UK in the next three months.

We have been clear on the requirement for dual British citizens, including children and families, to travel with a valid British passport or Certificate of Entitlement. Dual British citizens should prove their permission to travel and enter the UK with a valid British passport or a passport containing a Certificate of Entitlement (CoE) to the right of abode. We have published an ETA guide for dual nationals on gov.uk, including at: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/electronic-travel-authorisation-eta-guide-for-dual-citizens . There is also guidance on GOV.UK to help people determine whether they or their family members qualify for British citizenship at: https://www.gov.uk/check-british-citizenship.
