According to the Independent, there will be new rules for dual British citizens travelling to the UK.

Now, we don’t always know if the Independent is truly independent politically.  Some of their reporting on Eastern Europe in the past seemed, well, biased.  (We can’t blame them for finding biased sources.)  So, we checked up on an official British government website.

It basically says the same thing, but the Independent is slightly easier to understand.

If you are travelling to the UK, and you are a dual citizen of the UK and somewhere else, then you need to “a valid UK passport of Irish passport.”  Or, you can get an expensive “certificate of entitlement.”  That costs 589 British pounds.  That’s pounds sterling, not lei or ron, but pounds.  I’d rather get a regular passport.

Some people who are dual citizens with other EU countries might be used to using their other passport, especially if you live in Romania.  I mean, it might not make sense to pay for a British passport if you only visit there, and you live in the European Union, right?

Well, as the rules have changed, it makes economic sense to get the British passport too.
