Entering the UK- or going to happen now

My son in the US has always had both US and UK passports since he became an American citizen. The cost of a British passport is about a tenner a year, one hundredth of the cost of a return flight at the moment. That seems a bargain, to me.

It is changing end of Feb rafiagran It’s basically equivalent of a visa to now get into Uk wherever you are from or born

If you really want to come to the UK, you need to pay for the passport if you can afford the fare here plus insurance you can afford the passport.
To be fair I dud not know the rules had changed.

I dont think anyone is getting Nana8s anger
The rules for Uk have changed and she can no longer get into Uk on her Australian passport alone

I don't understand why you are annoyed. You are obviously happy in Australia, you have a passport. No reason you can't come to the UK if you want to as a tourist.
I don't really get Calais and small boats, you don't have to risk your life to come here.

The Calais comment was cruel and nasty Nana8
Many people have two passports for various reasons my grandkids have a British and an Irish passport which makes it easier for travel in Europe They pay double for the privilege

Why would you need to show a UK passport when you have an Australian one? I don't understand that

I wondered that, too.

I can't imagine why someone who could afford a flight from Australia to France would want to risk her life on a 'small boat' from Calais for the last 20 miles or so of a trip to the UK. Unless it is some sort of publicity stunt, of course - but what could the motive be? 🤔

The rules have changed as of end of February and Uk has caught up with the rest of the world Basgetti and Grandmabatty
Now you will have to show a Uk passport or a certificate of entitlement to enter Uk
It costs £94 to get a Uk passport and more for a certificate of entitlement
Uk is just catching up the rest of the world we are late to the game Nana8

Quite. You’re a tourist. Just show your Australian passport 🤷‍♀️
Anti-immigrant rage bait?

Why would you need to show a UK passport when you have an Australian one? I don't understand that

So you’re not a British citizen? Why would you expect special treatment because you were once?

I expect if you felt that you were in danger in Australia and needed asylum, your case would be considered along with everyone else in the same situation. Wouldn’t recommend a small boat from Australia, though ….
