'Heartbreaking': British schoolgirl barred from flying home over UK dual national rules
"We tried to check in on the app and it allowed me to check in but not Hanne. When we got to the airport... they wouldn't let her check in either."
"Under new border rules for the Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) system in place from 25th February, British dual nationals can only enter the UK if they have a valid British passport or alternatively a Certificate of Entitlement."
A dual-national British schoolgirl was stranded in Denmark after being denied boarding on her return flight to London due to new UK border rules. She traveled with her Norwegian mother and lacked a valid British passport, although she was applying for one. The new Electronic Travel Authorisation system requires British dual nationals to have a valid British passport or a Certificate of Entitlement. The girl's parents were unaware of the rule change, leaving her unable to return home as her GCSE exams approach.
