Britain tightens entry rules for dual citizens with new passport regime

Britain tightens entry rules for dual citizens with new passport regime

The UK’s Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) rollout will require dual nationals to enter the country using a British or Irish passport from February 25, 2026. Those attempting to travel on a foreign passport will be denied boarding unless they also hold a paid Certificate of Entitlement proving their right of abode. The ETA itself doesn’t apply to dual nationals, so the new passport- and right-of-entry rules close that loophole. For those without a British passport, the only routes are obtaining/renewing a UK passport, applying for a Certificate of Entitlement (costing about £589), registering for British citizenship (if eligible), or, in some cases, renouncing British citizenship. An emergency one-time travel document is possible only as a short-term solution. Consider acting early to determine your best path to compliant travel.)

"South Africa's Crackdown on Dual Citizens Serving in Israeli Military Sparks Global Debate"

South Africa's threat to arrest its citizens serving in the Israel Defense Forces has raised legal and moral questions, with campaigns underway to push other governments to do the same. While no other nations have committed to following South Africa's lead, France is being urged to prosecute its citizens serving in the IDF. The move by South Africa has sparked concerns about the impact on IDF readiness and the potential chilling effect on individuals considering serving. The issue of dual nationals serving in the IDF has come to the forefront, with legal experts debating the application of "collective guilt" to individual citizens for alleged crimes committed by the IDF.
