| Jan 3 at 12:22 | comment | added | terdon | @Stef I'm sorry, you seemed to have read my comment as an attack. I didn't intend it that way! I just thought you might actually know for a fact that the UK embassies or consulates in France do actually invite walk-ins. So I asked. | |
| Jan 3 at 12:16 | comment | added | Stef | @terdon What I don't know is what the OP did. What I do know is that when a French citizen is trying to get a passport or visa from Paris, going in person can help make things a lot faster. Which is why I wrote my comment. Given the short time-window of their situation, it seemed more productive to me to ask clarifications and suggest options, rather than to not suggest anything with the excuse that I don't know every single detail of the OP's situation and haven't been in every consulate in the world. | |
| Jan 3 at 12:12 | comment | added | terdon | @Stef many places, especially UK bureaucracy, do not allow in-person visits and require that everything be done by mail. Do you know that going "there" is an option? "There" presumably being the UK embassy or consulate nearest the OP? | |
| Jan 3 at 10:32 | comment | added | Stef | "The UK passport I have applied for will probably not arrive in time." << How did you apply? The time to get a passport is extremely variable and you can make it faster if you go there in person and explain why you need it in person, than if you just submit an impersonal application and let it sit at the bottom of a drawer. | |
| Jan 3 at 8:14 | comment | added | canonacer | From Gov.UK website: "An emergency travel document lets you travel from abroad if you need to travel urgently and cannot use your UK passport. It is usually only valid for one single or return journey." So a return journey on this document is possible.gov.uk/travel-urgently-from-abroad-without-uk-passport | |

| Jan 2 at 17:08 | comment | added | CSM | Why don't you apply for a UK Emergency Passport ? However, this will only get you into the UK - it will be retained by the immigration officers. You'll need to apply for an expedited passport to get back to France. You can phone 00 44 300 222 0000 for advice (gov.uk/passport-advice-line) | |
