Airlines will shortly start enforcing Electronic Travel Authorisation rules for those visiting the UK who don’t normally need visas. Jenni Whitaker and Karma Hickman, immigration lawyers at Bindmans, discuss what this means for people who are also British citizens. This group will now have to show a UK passport or certificate of entitlement in order to travel to the UK, rather than simply using their overseas passport to enter as visitors via the eGates, which many have done until now. Jenni shares her experiences as a dual Finnish national and also talks about potential problems for EU-based individuals flying to the UK.

Jenni and Karma also talked about electronic certificates of entitlement.
