I wonder where you get all this wonderful information from?
Who informed you that to get right of abode sticker you should come from a country that does not not allow dual citizenship? Actually people in this situation will be committing an offence by not surrendering/cancelling passports from their home country.
One good example is Indian citizens who get BC. They could end up in all kind of difficulties if they do not surrender their passports within 3 months of gaining BC. If on a trip to India, Indian immigration works out that someone is using Indian passport beyond 3 months grace period, then that person will surely be arrested and charged with offences under Indian passport act.
So, please stop giving random misleading advice to people.
Actually in practical terms, right of abode stamp could be beneficial to someone who home country allows dual citizenship. For example, it will be beneficial for an Australian who gets BC. They won't have to carry around 2 passports all the time.
Please, let me understand if I got it right. Just learning how it works and how these documents look and can be used. Nothing to do wanting to make an offence but I want to know how these people I talked to really make it happen. None of them showed their documents to me..
Based on my relatively poor knowledge of how immigration documents work, if they use a 'right of abode' sticker I think they have to carry the British Passport with them. Looking at some samples it show "valid until the validity of the present passport"

As it should be, they would need to enter with a British Passport and be limited to the stay in that country as British Nationals. If they overstay, it will definitely find out when they will leave the country. in facts, if they show their Indian Passport (without any visa, stickers, ILR, etc) they will not be allowed to leave. If they leave with their British passport, their entry stamp help the authority to find out they overstayed.
If not enough, if they carry both passports, at the first check of bags they will find out and seize the Indian (or Chinese if in China, etc.) passport.
Moreover, looking at the biometric ID, if a national with this issue, applies after getting the BC, he/she will have a "British National" on such card, meaning, the Indian/Chinese/etc. authorities will find out. Instead, if applied for a biometric ID before the BC was granted, it will be valid for 10 years, based on ILR, PR, or any other visa the new BC was granted residence in the UK. In this case, there is the issue that such "dual national" will not be in conditions to renew the biometric ID without having the "British National Citizen" show on their biometric ID.
How correct are the above?
