"The problem has arisen because of a change in border controls on 25 February, when everyone travelling to the UK will need permission to travel, unless they are a British or Irish citizen or are otherwise exempt. Visitors for short stays must apply for an Electronic Travel Authorisation that costs 16. But dual nationals will, for the first time, be obliged to show their British passport to travel to the UK"
"I'm really annoyed about being treated as Brexit collateral once again with this short-notice, shortsighted, arbitrary change of the rules, she said.

Border-control changes taking effect on 25 February require everyone travelling to the UK to have permission to travel unless they are British or Irish citizens or otherwise exempt. Short-stay visitors must apply for an Electronic Travel Authorisation that costs 16. Dual British nationals must, for the first time, present a valid British passport to board a flight, ferry or train to the UK or pay 589 for a certificate of entitlement to attach to a second-nationality passport. Many living abroad say the rules were poorly communicated, that keeping two passports is unaffordable for some families, and that presenting a British passport can risk other nationalities such as Spanish citizenship.
