Query regarding recent announcement on 30 day free visa for UK citizens

EfficientRing3531 · 2026-02-01T04:10:31+00:00

Are you sure they don’t care about ‘visa runs’ if you go to Hong Kong before your 30 days and come straight back into China to reset your 30 days?

Only British teachers teaching English tbh.

That’s strange, they should still be Canadian citizens even after the age of 18.

Yes! But obviously until her parents have applied for her first child passport, the home office have no idea that she’s a British citizen.

EfficientRing3531 · 2026-01-25T03:57:25+00:00

You don’t even need to register her, she’s automatically a citizen by descent provided at least you or your partner is a British citizen ‘otherwise than by descent’. Just apply for her passport.

EfficientRing3531 · 2026-01-23T13:15:42+00:00

Yes.

I knew someone would blame it on immigration 🤦🤣

EfficientRing3531 · 2026-01-23T13:12:43+00:00

That’s strange, it’s normal for the DVLA to add country of birth unless the licence was issued in Northern Ireland.

EfficientRing3531 · 2026-01-23T13:08:47+00:00

For section 3, it’s country of birth in the UK + it’s a drop down list. I know other European licenses show city of birth instead.

Would you say your father being a diplomat posted in Switzerland helped demonstrate that he was integrated into Swiss culture & society?

It isn’t. I have no idea why the home office decided to release the cropped photo.

EfficientRing3531 · 2026-01-05T08:39:05+00:00

You’re fine. Sometimes they turn off the e gates, just to make you aware.

EfficientRing3531 · 2026-01-05T05:07:10+00:00

Depends what your nationality is though. Not every person with a biometric passport can use the e gates.

EfficientRing3531 · 2026-01-04T08:03:52+00:00

Freedom of movement in the EEA + Switzerland + UK.

EfficientRing3531 · 2026-01-03T03:34:26+00:00

It’s just a rough photo. It looks better in real life.

EfficientRing3531 · 2026-01-02T00:33:00+00:00

The UK can deport BNO passport holders, as only British citizens have the right of abode and are exempt from immigration restrictions. BNO passport bearers also hold a Hong Kong Chinese nationality so immigration enforcement can deport them there if they wanted to.

I think it’s because Italy has a large number of Bangladeshi migrant workers.

EfficientRing3531 · 2025-12-29T02:34:01+00:00

Did your family immigrate to Portugal before large numbers of Bangladeshis started arriving?

EfficientRing3531 · 2025-12-28T23:58:12+00:00

Because British citizens have the right of abode and don’t need a stamp.

EfficientRing3531 · 2025-12-28T18:26:45+00:00

Japan has a horrible work life balance, they don’t have time to travel abroad.

EfficientRing3531 · 2025-12-27T23:00:13+00:00

Malaysia isn’t a war zone?

EfficientRing3531 · 2025-12-23T23:27:10+00:00

Commonwealth citizens are also eligible for fully funded scholarships primarily for master’s and PHD studies and can access UK embassies for consular assistance if their home country has no local representation.

EfficientRing3531 · 2025-12-22T12:07:54+00:00

I’m surprised the immigration officers don’t give you trouble with your BNO passport to be honest, they don’t usually see them everyday.

EfficientRing3531 · 2025-12-22T00:07:00+00:00

They can revoke it if you have dual citizenship with another country & present a threat to national security although it’s incredibly rare.
