The UK's new Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) is set to include EU, EEA, Swiss, and Norwegian citizens starting April. However, technical issues have emerged, particularly affecting dual nationals without a valid UK passport. These individuals are barred from entering the UK as they cannot apply for the ETA if they have to present their non-UK passport. The situation creates a problematic loop, as they need the ETA to enter while lacking the required documents. The issue extends to include EU-born children of UK nationals, leaving many in travel limbo.
In an unforeseen technical glitch, Britain's new Electronic Travel Authorisation process is prohibiting some British dual nationals from entering the UK without a valid passport.
Several dual nationals have been caught in a bind since they cannot apply for the ETA without presenting a valid UK passport, which they may not possess.
