Your ILR becomes null & void after naturalisation as a citizen is not subject to immigration controls - so the BRP will be null & void too.ScopeD wrote:oncewas wrote:im also in the same shoes but i believe i will get my brp even if i apply direct cause thats what i did. usatye
I know it's been a while since you guys posted in this thread (hopefully you were successful in your naturalisation applications) but wanted to find out from you how you are getting on with juggling the two passports in Zimbabwe. At lease you got to keep your BRPs to show at the airline check-in desk, but us, the recently naturalised rookies, have had to return our BRPs in order to comply with the new HO requirements. Where does that leave me, seeing that dual citizenship, although now allowed in the new Zimbabwean constitution, continues to be a thorn as Immigration officers unfairly victimise duals?
Hi noajthan. Thanks for your response. I do understand the point that the BRP becomes null and void. In any case, I no longer have mine to wave at the check-in desk because, as I stated in my first post, I've returned it to the HO to comply with the new guidelines. My question is about how one can then juggle the two passports (in Zimbabwe). Say I've used my Zimbabwean passport to enter Zimbabwe, I've got to use the same passport to exit Zimbabwe (and I get all that). But at the check-in desk, do I wave my British passport to prove my UK residence (which, as the original OP has stated, can be a real risk/nightmare/invite-to-a-spanking by the authorities in Zimbabwe).noajthan wrote:

Even if someone hangs onto their BRP does not mean they can wave it at an airline worker & board a plane.
Airlines increasingly have systems in place to permit boarding only if "docs OK".
