[Babajee85]

Hi guys,

My son who is living back home and hold the British passport needs to travel back in UK ASAP.His British passport has expired recently and can not travel at the moment.

Can i apply for him ROA instead of renewing the British passport because renewing can take some time.

I want to apply for spouse visa for my wife and want my family back in UK ASAP.

please advise is it possible for the child(6-years old) to apply for the RoA while he is having expired British passport.

Thanks

You should be able to apply for a CoE-RoA if your son has a non-UK passport.

Thanks a lot Simon ..Yes he is dual national and does not have the Pakistani passport but NICOP (Overseas ID card).Do he really need a passport because CoE-RoA is sticker which needs to be placed on the passport.

So it means i need to apply for him first the Pakistani passport and then apply for CoE-RoA, am i right ?

Hi,

I just found that You cannot get a certificate of Entitlement if you already have a British passport or a valid certificate of entitlement in another foreign passport.

My son has his first British passport which has expired now....So it means i can not apply for his CoE on his non-uk passport.

Can someone please advise.

Thanks

As the British passport is not current but expired, your son should be able to apply for a CoE-RoA in his Pakistani passport. And yes, he does need a non-UK passport for the CoE-RoA to be stuck into.

See ROA 14 & 17.

Thanks Simon for the swift. Don't you think i should apply for the ETD (Emergency Travel Document) instead of CoE-RoA
As it says :

You can apply for an emergency travel document if all the following apply:

you’re a British national
you’re outside the UK
your passport has been lost, stolen, damaged, is full, has recently expired or is with HM Passport Office or a foreign embassy
you don’t have time to renew or replace your passport before you travel (My wife spouse visa will take roughly max 2 months So i will say my wife needs to travel within one month of Visa issue)
you can provide proof of your travel plans, for example booking confirmations (or detailed written travel plans if you can’t book ahead)
You usually can’t get an emergency travel document if you’ve never had a UK passport. You should apply for a passport instead.

Please advise.

Thanks
