Stovies Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 We currently have Australian passports. As we are going back to live in the UK would we need to renew our UK passports here or while we are back in the UK? Sorry if this question is a bit dumb but with 5,000 things going through my head at the moment....:spinny: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry if this question is a bit dumb but with 5,000 things going through my head at the moment.... :Randy-git: Hi, Have you not kept your british passports? Or has it just experied? I am really not sure, I might be wrong, but I think you should renew them here before going back, don't know how immigration views entering the UK with aussie passports even if you are citizens. Hopefully someone will give you a better answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stovies Posted November 26, 2010 Author Share Posted November 26, 2010 (Ha ha ha! Sorry, just noticed that I had clicked on the wrong emoticon!!!) Hi, Yes, we still have our British Passports but they have expired. I think you might be right. It might be wiser to just renew them from here. Anyone else know what's what? Thanks!

Guest Guest31881 Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 I seem to remember that the UK authorities will accept expired UK passports to enter the country for 18 months after they expire. It would probably be worth a email or phone call to the UK to find out exactly where you stand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stovies Posted November 26, 2010 Author Share Posted November 26, 2010 Thanks Colin. I will do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parley Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 If they will let you enter on expired UK passport that would be good. It is significantly more expensive to get your UK passport in Australia than in the UK. Almost $300 in Aus vs around 75 pounds in UK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stovies Posted November 26, 2010 Author Share Posted November 26, 2010 My UK Passport expired in 2002. I do have a current Australian passport so I would get into the country. My worry though is that as I would be entering as an Australian, there might be problems as I will be going there to live and there may be visa issues... oh I don't know! I will get in touch with the British High Commission and try to find out the best way to go about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
