If you got British citizenship after settling in the UK under the EU settlement scheme, you can travel to the UK using a valid: passport of your other nationality; [or] national identity card from the EU, Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein or Switzerland.
Gaining citizenship through family or through marriage is possible, but if you don't have any useful relatives or an EU spouse you'll be looking at getting citizenship through residency. From residency requirements to rules on dual nationality, every country in Europe has its own way of tackling naturalisation.
Under the rules, dual nationals risk being denied boarding if they do not present a British passport, current or expired, or a certificate of entitlement, costing 589, attached to the passport of their second nationality, to prove their right to enter the UK.
In total, 19 dual nationals were stripped of their French passports in 2025, according to figures published in the police gazette l'Essor de la gendarmerie. The process followed convictions in the French courts, all for terrorism-related offences. The figures represent a fall on the previous year, when 41 people had their French passports removed. In 2023, 11 dual nationals lost their French citizenship, in 2022 six did, and four each in 2021 and 2020.
Born in Granollers, to a Moroccan father and Spanish mother, Ziani has been at La Masia since a young age and is held in high regard at the club, where he is currently a part of the Juvenil B (U-18) setup. At the same time, Ziani is also the subject of an international tug-of-war between Morocco and Spain. He has already represented Morocco at the U-16 and U-17 levels, but the Spanish Football Federation is also closely monitoring his progress with an eye on the future.
When England take to the pitch against Andorra at Villa Park on Saturday, they will not be the only team of English players on the grass. Dotted around the pitch will be the England Under-15 team who are going to be the ball boys for the game - and the reason they will be there is because of long-term planning by the Football Association (FA).
