Dual British–Cypriot Nationals now required to use UK passports for entry into the United Kingdom

A significant change affecting dual British–Cypriot nationals has now come into effect. As of 25 February 2026, individuals who hold both British and Cypriot citizenship must enter the United Kingdom exclusively using their British passport. This update follows new guidance issued by the UK authorities and communicated publicly by the Cyprus High Commission in London.

What Has Changed

Under the UK’s updated border entry rules, dual nationals are no longer permitted to enter the country using their non‑UK passport.
