Collie Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Nice looking bike but probably too big for what I want. I'm in no rush, had a scooter in Sydney and had been thinking about getting something over year for a run around over here. Good luck. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Itraf Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 When you buy air ticket your passport number is needed for purchase and boarding flight so you could use uk one for flight and when you arrive 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the physical passport is required at check in,/boarding not just a number. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nemesis Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 (edited) 4 minutes ago, Itraf said: Passport needed for visas ticket boarding arrival You do not need a passport or a visa to buy a flight ticket between the UK and Australia. Other countries may differ. However as I said you will need one for check in/boarding, and of course you need one for arrival.

Rallyman Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 (edited) Went back to uk in March , first time as Australian citizens , we had to show our Australian passport to leave and upon return , when we arrived in uk we used the none eu immigration channel and showed both which the officer said was the correct thing to do , a lot quicker as well ! Flights were booked with our uk passport details as we had not become citizens at the time of booking Edited July 15, 2017 by Rallyman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All you need to enter the UK is the UK passport, holding an Australian one is irrelevant. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norfolk, Suffolk or Yorkshire - trying to decide. And will suss it out more once as have a look in October. We plan on making the big move beginning of January. Our house settles late August here in Victoria. Gives me plenty of time to organise things this end etc. You will have a busy day wow on the day of house settlement! Lovely parts of England. Quite different from each other though. Keep in mind mid January is middle of winter and it can be a long haul till the warmer months. Short days also and dark early although getting lighter slowly over the months. Be prepared for the winter and spring is all if coming over from the middle of an Aus summer. It can be a shock to the system as it can be moving the other way. Also schools will be part way through a school year ( start Sept) so keep that in mind also. Half terms are handy mid term as schools have a week off. So a half term would be mid Feb or thereabouts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were told by the boarder security officer that legally if you have a uk passport you are required to present it, we told them that we had recently become dual citizens and produced both and were told we had followed the correct procedure , no complications what so ever Edited July 16, 2017 by Rallyman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it sound like the UK has the same rules as Australia. An Australian citizen is legally obliged to leave and enter Australia on an Australian passport. According to the advice you received a UK citizen is obliged to leave and enter the UK on a UK passport. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemesis Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 There is no rule in place for the UK stating that UK citizens must use a UK passport. Ozzie citizens must use ozzie passports in and out of Australia, US citizens must use a US passport in and out of the USA. There is no equivalent rule for UK citizens. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am only stating what happened to us and what we were told by the boarder control officer at Manchester airport upon arrival Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
