You're not officially British until you attend the ceremony, so if you travel BEFORE the ceremony, you will be treated in the same way as you were previously, so I assume this would be fine, but I guess it depends on your individual circumstance. This thread was about travelling AFTER the ceremony, but before receiving the British passport.Indianlonly wrote:I'm same situation but I got permanent residence card and I booked my flight before the cermony , is there problem when I come back ?
Not exactly sure what you mean there. To apply for a British passport, you DO need to send your foreign passport(s) to the Passport Office, and that's what the issue is for many people. If they want to apply for a British passport, they are unable to travel for the many weeks until their British passport arrives because they don't have their foreign passport during this time.juniorcares wrote:Hi Guys,
I am In the same position but I have a permanent residence on my passport. I have attended my ceremony just before Christmas and I want to travel asap. Is this going to be a problem? I know I do not have to send my passport because I got a permanent residence but will it get cancelled automatically?
I still don't understand your question. When you say "permanent card", do you mean your biometric residence permit? If you're not yet British, you can continue to enter the UK with it, but you need your Indian passport too obviously. Nothing changes with your travel status while you're waiting for naturalisation approval. It's only once you get the approval and attend the citizenship ceremony that your biometric residence permit becomes void.Indianlonly wrote:I know I'm not British yet but I'm asking if I travel to India with my permanent card as I usually do , or my PR is cancelled now ?
You have PR card under the EU/EEA route. It does not get 'cancelled'. It the BRP ILR card under the UK immigration rules that becomes void and the card has to be returned to HO.Indianlonly wrote:I know I'm not British yet but I'm asking if I travel to India with my permanent card as I usually do , or my PR is cancelled now ?
