United Kingdom entry requirements for dual nationals

If you’re a New Zealand citizen and also have British or Irish citizenship (dual national), the United Kingdom government has advised you must travel to the UK using either a valid UK passport or Irish passport or any other valid passport with a certificate of entitlement.  You will not be able to travel without one of these documents.   

Dual nationals cannot get an electronic travel authorisation (ETA).  

Find more travel advice on the United Kingdom, including further information on ETAs and dual nationally, see our travel advisory - here.
