Taff Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 (edited) A strange facet of our return to Blighty is getting my Aussie wife residency. Luckily, she was born in the UK (Cardiff,) to an Aussie mother, and a Kiwi father, and lived there until a year old. So we were able to apply for a UK passport on the strength of her birth certificate. We were told that it has been approved, sent, and it is now awaiting collection from a local DHL depot! Funnily enough, my Pommy passport was coming up to it’s expiry date, so I had to send off for a new one. We may soon be in a situation where my "true blue" Aussie wife has a Pommy passport and I do not. Edited August 10, 2017 by Taff 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taff Posted August 17, 2017 Author Share Posted August 17, 2017 Both passports arrived in the same DHL delivery, so she didn't have bragging rights over me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
