    How is this an issue?? You just use your UK passport when travelling to the UK, and your EU passport when travelling to the EU. Just as anyone normally would - you go through the shortest queue you’re entiteled to use.

    If you’re a dual national, you already have two passports. Certainly you at least have an entitlement to them.

      If you’re a dual national, you already have two passports.

      That assumption is mistaken, and where the issues likely come from in practise.

      That’s what I do - an extra bonus is avoiding the tourist tax in the country of my birth.

    But Spain requires non-nationals naturalising to renounce their previous nationality and presenting her British passport at the airport will legally risk her Spanish nationality.

    Surely if she’s renounced her nationality she isn’t a British national?

      If I’m reading it right, she told Spain that she had so she could get her Spanish citizenship, but she hadn’t actually, so now she could be found out.

        So she broke the law? And is upset about it?
