Passport changes prevent British dual national from visiting dying mother
AI Summary
A British woman in the Netherlands, identified as Annie, is unable to visit her dying 91-year-old mother in England due to new Home Office rules taking effect Wednesday. The rules require dual British nationals (excluding those with Irish citizenship) to present a valid British passport to enter the UK or obtain a £589 certificate of entitlement, which can take up to eight weeks. Annie's British passport is currently being renewed, and she can no longer use her Dutch passport for entry. Former Brexit secretary David Davis, Annie's mother's MP, is urging the Home Secretary to implement a grace period, arguing the policy treats dual citizens as foreign visitors. The Liberal Democrats have echoed this call, highlighting the policy's impact on British citizens.
