From 25 February 2026, the UK’s Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) system is fully enforced and it’s already causing confusion, especially for people who hold more than one passport. In this live session, I’m breaking it down clearly and calmly - no panic, no rumours. What we’ll cover: • Who does and does NOT need a UK ETA • What this means for dual citizens • Why some travellers may face airline checks or boarding issues • Common mistakes people are already making • Practical tips to avoid problems when flying to the UK in 2026 Important clarification: • British and Irish citizens do NOT need an ETA • If you are a dual British citizen, the key issue is which passport you travel on • Airlines may carry out checks before boarding if your status is unclear This session is especially relevant for: • Nigerians and Africans in the UK & diaspora • Dual passport holders • Frequent UK travellers • Anyone confused by the new ETA rules 🧠 I’ll also be answering live questions, so bring your specific situation. 📌 This is general information, not legal advice.
