Scottish mum stuck in Spain after baby falls foul of UK dual nationality rules
"I do feel this is ridiculous, because my baby was born in the UK, lives in the UK, but she's not allowed to enter the UK, even with me, her mum, who is British."
"If you think about this, who are the most affected? It is probably kids and young people are probably the ones who, with dual nationality, who are impacted most."
"Hundreds of others who have contacted the Guardian in the last two months have complained that the Home Office did not communicate the rule change effectively."
"The Home Office said they would take a compassionate and pragmatic approach to travellers who experience genuine difficulty."
A British woman and her 11-month-old baby were stranded in Spain due to new rules for dual nationals requiring a British passport or certificate of entitlement to enter the UK. Sarah Schloegl was unaware of the changes and argued that the information should have been better communicated. While her husband and older child could board the flight, her baby was denied entry. Schloegl expressed frustration over the impact on children and criticized the Home Office for inadequate communication regarding the rule change.
