British dual nationals may be able to fly with Ryanair from Mallorca to Britain even if they do not have a current British passport when new immigration rules come into force next week, the airline has said. The Bulletin was contacted by one British father in Mallorca who feared than his children would be denied entry. Some have had family visits planned while others are worried travel plans may have been scotched by the new rules because children born abroad did not have British passports. It said: “From 25 February 2026, all dual British citizens will need to present either a valid British passport or certificate of entitlement when travelling to the UK. It is completely absurd that dual nationals like myself should be ruled ineligible to enter the UK as tourists without an ETA.
