I have dual citizenship of USA and Egypt. I am a student in England and hold a Biometric Residence Permit. My nationality on the BRP is Egyptian since I had applied for my Student Visa from Egypt.

Can I travel from London to Paris with my USA passport (no visa required) and return to England with my BRP?

    You only need to use your BPR at the UK controls, you can use your American passport everywhere else in the EEA – Gayot Fow Jan 9 '17 at 19:30

    @GayotFow that should be an answer. – chx Jan 16 '17 at 14:38

  • @Crazydre nobody said 'stand-alone'. It provides leave-to-enter authority just like a visa affixed to a passport page. And per my comment, it is recognised only by UK authorities. – Gayot Fow Feb 8 '17 at 17:00

For entry to France, from Consulate General of France in Chicago:

American passport holders are not required to obtain a visa prior to visiting France -as tourists- for up to 90 days per semester (6 months).

For re-entry to UK, from GOV.UK:

You can use your BRP to confirm your:

  • identity
  • right to study or work in the UK
  • right to any public services or benefits you’re entitled to

Yes, you can use your US passport for France.

When re-entering the UK, present your Egyptian passport and BRP. This also goes for the Eurostar-run UK exit checks if going to France by train (before French border control)
