The United Kingdom is preparing to make significant changes to the entry requirements for British and Irish dual citizens, a move that could cause concern for millions of citizens who also hold a foreign passport. Effective February 25, 2026, the use of a foreign passport to enter the UK will be prohibited. This new rule will require travelers to choose between obtaining a valid British or Irish passport, paying a high fee for a residence rights certificate, or even renouncing their British citizenship. According to The Independent, these changes mark a new step in the country's entry regulations.
