New Travel Rules for British Citizens with Two Passports
Introduction
Some people with two passports cannot fly to the UK. A small child in Spain could not get on a plane because of new rules.
Main Body
People with two nationalities must have a British passport. If they do not have one, they must pay £589 for a special paper. Airlines will not let people fly without these documents. One baby has both British and Austrian passports. The baby could not fly with Ryanair. The father showed a birth certificate, but the government said it was not enough. The government says the rules are on their website. However, some groups say the government did not tell people clearly. This caused problems for many families. Some groups are now talking to European leaders. They want to help children with two nationalities. Right now, emergency papers are only for very bad situations, like a death in the family.
Conclusion
The family is still in Spain. They must wait ten weeks for a new British passport.
