UK passport guidance
Guides for British citizens living overseas: what changed in the UK entry rules, and what to do when a British passport goes missing abroad.
UK travel rules
Since 25 February 2026, British and Irish citizens cannot get a UK ETA. If you hold another nationality and have been travelling to the UK on that passport, this is the change that affects you — what it means, your options, and how long each one takes.
Read the guide →“When the recent UK entry rules changed for people who have dual citizenship, weeks before we were due to travel, we knew we would be at risk of not having a British passport in time. We googled and found ASAP passports. We enquired online and within a couple of hours Jacob called us, despite it being well after business hours. He was thorough, informative and empathetic to our situation. He talked us through the options and after we decided to move forward, he supported us through the process (including finding old expired passport history, birth certificates etc). Jacob kept us updated the whole way and even after the passport was delivered he checked in to make sure all was ok. Customer service is often non existent these days even when paying a premium, but in this instance the expense was 100% worth it. Highly recommend.”
Country-by-country help
What to do first, how to get the old passport cancelled, and how to replace it in 3 weeks or less, guaranteed, where eligible.
“Thank you to George and the team at ASAP Passports. My partner lost her passport 3 weeks before our trip to Japan and it was renewed and back our hands in about a week. Communication was spot on and professional.”
