Hello all, I have been an avid lurker and this board has been tremendously helpful. I have received my citizenship ceremony date which is booked. I intend to immediately apply for British passport and it is a requirement to submit my foreign passport to HMPO. It is now obvious that I may need to travel due to an unfortunate family illness. I cannot delay the ceremony until my return to the UK as my UK visa expires next month.
1. Can I request my foreign passport from HMPO for emergency travel? Or,
2. Should I apply for an emergency travel document from my foreign embassy (travelling to my home country)? If I do not make it back to the UK before my visa expires (conscious too of possible travel restrictions which can suddenly be implemented due to COVID-19), my newly issued passport could be received by post and held safely by other family members who are unable to travel for this emergency.
Does anyone know if Option 2 would be advisable? Has it ever been done?
