Hi my wife’s UK and Australian citizen. She travels on Australian passport with 5 year retirement visa, living in Thailand. Due to UK passport rules she now has to travel to UK return to Thailand using her UK passport. Her retirement Visa is in her Aussie passport. What’s the situation there please. Much appreciated. 🙏

Answer summary

The situation for the wife's travel involves using both her Australian and UK passports. She needs to check in with her UK passport that shows her visa from the Australian passport. Upon traveling from the UK to Thailand, she should ensure she is stamped into Thailand on her Australian passport.

Nothing special. It's the same procedures as when dual citizens switch passports on air travel.

She brings both passports. Check into the airline with a UK passport showing a visa on an Australian passport and leaving the UK using a UK passport. When arriving in Thailand, make sure she is stamped on her Australian passport.
