      The certificate of entitlement is only really for countries which don’t officially acknowledge dual citizenship, kind of a way to hide your British passport from them. I know the advice for a dual British/Chinese citizen is to get this certificate in your British passport. The chinese would see the certificate in it and count it as a visa and let you depart.

        OK makes sense. But for this example it would apply to British dual nationals wanting to return to the UK? Surely have your foreign passport for regular use in whatever country you live in and when you want to return to the UK show your British passport? This saving you the admin and paperwork and money.

          I assume for most dual nationals, they’ll have two passports. I’m British and Irish and I have both, despite me being able to prove my right to live and work in the UK with either

    I actually thought this was already the case? Just thought it was common sense that if you had a non british/irish passport in addition to your british/irish passport, you would present your british passport upon entering and leaving the UK and whatever passport suits the destination country
