I believe he has ILR, with rights to work, etc., in the UK. But he has not the rights of a British citizen under the EU provisions, i.e. in another EU country?Pan1974 wrote: ↑Fri Aug 30, 2019 10:27 pmThere are two observations on his passport.
1. The holder is entitled to re-admission to the United Kingdom.
2. The holder is not entitled to benefit from EU provisions relating to employment or establishment. (This was added recently when passport was renewed)
Returning residents
Under paragraph 17 of the rules, British Overseas Citizens (BOC) who hold UK passports wherever issued are also entitled to admission at any time as returning residents if they can satisfy the Immigration Officer that, since 1 March 1968, they have been given indefinite leave to enter or remain in the UK.
Those who benefit from paragraph 16 or 17 will normally have “Holder is entitled to re-admission to the UK” endorsed in their passport and are entitled to readmission as returning residents at any time. This means that their leave will not lapse after 2 years’ absence from the UK.
Persons described in paragraph 16 who produce a UK passport issued outside the Common Travel Area (CTA), or issued within the CTA on or after 1 January 1973, are subject to the normal 2 year rule, unless their passports bear the ‘right of readmission’ endorsement.
but still worth a try.
