The issue is 'trying to have your cake and eat it' so to speak. Although I have left Malaysia on personal circumstances I do intend to return at some point in the future as all my family are still there. I have heard of instances of people actually using 2 passports find their way out and back into the UK .global gypsy wrote:The answer seems quite obvious to me:
1. Malaysia does not allow dual nationality.
2. This means you are not a Malaysian national any more, now that you have taken up UK citizenship.
3. Hence you use just your British passport for your entire travel.
That's all. Where is the issue?
hmm. then you would become stateless.SJ1811 wrote:Thank you for your advice, looks like giving up the British passport may become a future option...
The UK is a party to the 1961 Convention on the Reduction of Statelessness and has implemented policy to prevent statelessness by those who have are born in the UK or already have British citizenship. As a result of such policies, you are only able to renounce your British citizenship if you either hold another nationality or will soon acquire another nationality shortly after renunciation.joh118 wrote: hmm. then you would become stateless.
What my burning question is whether there is a link between check-in systems globally and within airports itself... (the above has already been carried out by certain people, but like you say VERY risky) And another question is...what if I gave up my British passport, does that mean I give up British Citizenship? Would I then be eligible to have a Right of Abode entitlement in my Malaysian passport as I no longer have a British passport. I am very very confused here...

- Fly to Malaysia.
- Enter Malaysia using Malaysian passport.
- Upon departure from Malaysia, present your British passport at check-in, to satisfy the airline of your right to enter the UK.
- When passing through Malaysian outbound immigration controls, present your Malaysian passport if a passport is requested.
- Enter the UK on your British passport.
Selamat jalan.
I think the first question is whether you have relinquished your Malaysian citizenship by acting on your British citizenship by getting a British passport. You might have relinquished it by operation of Malaysian law, even if you did not intend to. If you have, the question is then how you would go about regaining Malaysian citizenship.SJ1811 wrote: What my burning question is whether there is a link between check-in systems globally and within airports itself...

I know this is an old thread, but just wanted to point out that Malaysians don't need a visa to enter the UK for visiting, thus it is perfectly OK to check in using the Malaysian passport.John wrote:SJ1811, if you go ahead with your travel plan, on leaving Malaysia, where will you go next? Direct to the UK, or first to a neighbouring country such as Thailand?
I an just wondering how you would prove at the Malaysian airport that you have the right to enter the UK?
