Right of Abode (sticker)
Posted: Wed Sep 10, 2014 3:17 pm
Hello All,
I am British Citizen (naturalised in 2010). Due to certain travel circumstances I will need a sticker in my non-british passport, showing that I am allowed to travel to the UK. The only option I see is to get Right of Abode sticker.
Now, I know that RoA is not issued if you have British Passport, which I do have. however manual specifically says that if your passport is lost or stolen, then it needs to be advised to the Passport Service, so their record is updated, as prior issuing RoA they are checking data base on the possession of the applicant of the British passport. For this reason I intend to "loose" my passport.
Another thing is that manual states:
- You must send your valid passport or travel document. Passports issued abroad which are being submitted for an application made in the UK must contain immigration stamps showing that the passport holder is resident in the UK.

On my non-british passport I do not have such stamps as enter the UK on the british passport.
Would I be successfull in getting RoA sticker on my non-Brit passport considering the above assumptions.
Many thanks
