TLDRStarting from 25 February, dual British nationals traveling to the UK will need a valid British passport or a £589 certificate of entitlement to avoid border delays, according to the Home Office. The change has sparked complaints from British citizens abroad, who argue that the new rules are poorly communicated and financially burdensome. The government introduced the rules last year as part of a digitization program aimed at enhancing border security and streamlining travel, but critics say it unfairly targets dual nationals and could lead to families being separated.
