Actually you can. I did it a few months ago. I am British but also an Australian citizen and have both passports. Left Oz on my Oz passport, entered UK on my British passport and left UK on my Oz passport. It ended up being a last minute trip to see my ill Mum so I didn’t have time to go through all the ETA stuff so just did this.

@Efour I see this get asked a lot on a FB group I am a member of. The common answer on there is that is you are a British citizen you don’t actually need an ETA (this info is on the UK government website somewhere apparently). When it gets mentioned about having expired passports the answer to that is that it is OK and just show that. However, that is for British born people. If you are Swedish with British citizenship it might be different for you?

Actually here is the link - https://www.gov.uk/eta/when-not-need-eta
Whether your passport is expired or not you are still a British citizen so shouldn’t need one?

Pancake yourselves mother flippers.

I love Brexit and strong borders as much as the next Essex man and I'll admit I was having aN existential crisis a few hours ago.

Ill prepared/user error. Harsh, possibly fair. The sooner all Brits are forehead barcoded and rectally microchipped the better.

I'll reapply for a UK small PP (the blue one) and collect it when I'm in the UK if there's even more bs.

Im not sure if when China/Russia invade having a UK passport will be useful, might help me jump the queue into a mass grave.

Thank you fellow Brits for your calm reassurance on the matter.
 
I'd forgive any minor transgressions on an ETA with your Swedish passport.. but yeah, take it on the chin, have a cup of and stay calm and just keep your British passport up to date old chap.

I can't even apply for an ETA because of I'd be lying? I guess I will lie and bring my old uk passport and be prepared to fellate my way to Romford.

Mate the only thing in Romford worth even burning £5 of diesel to drive to was the bowling place in Collier Row.

There is nothing there worth having to crew a mobile glory hole for.
 
Im lucky i get to mix business with pleasure.

just think of the brexiterschildren, we've now got to provide finger-prints and face ID to enter the sunlit uplands - delays of 2hrs expected.

He's wants to come here, I don't think he'll have to do that. Although we should make him. Otherwise he might disappear once he gets in and become a deliveroo rider.

It's quite crazy that you have to prove you're British to get into Britain without a visa, Crazy right

OP will need to pay a Moroccan smuggler now, goodluck!
