Dual citizen what passport to use

Post by mariamuk » Tue Aug 16, 2016 9:47 am

Hello
I became British this year and received passport, but I still able to keep Russian passport.
I wanted to ask does it matter what passport numbers I will use for flights to/from Russia?
I believe it does not matter as I travel with two in hand to show.

Could you correct me if I am wrong please?

You're expected to enter the UK with your British passport.

You'll need to enter Russia on your Russian passport, otherwise you'll need a visa from the Russian Consulate which I can assure you is an utter pain in the arse as the UK and Russian governments do they best to annoy each other.

Just asked the current Mrs Wanderer, she enters Russia on her Russian (no ridiculously expensive visa required) and enters UK on British one (ILR not valid on Russian one anymore)

She says sometimes they ask which one she left on, she just shows them her Russian one and that's it.
