The immigration officer at Heathrow managed to link her US passport to her UK citizenship with little problem. | |

| Feb 28, 2019 at 23:05 | comment | added | Kate Gregory | the UK does not require its citizens to enter on a UK passport. I'm a UK citizen, Canadian resident for over 50 years, and have entered the UK on my Canadian passport while telling the officer I am a British subject, more times than I can count. Not an issue. (However I am always just visiting and I leave. The OP's situation is different.) Since you raised that a country may require their citizens to use the country's passport, I wanted to make it clear that the UK doesn't. | |
