Travelling With Right Of Abode by Romeo10: 2:13am On Sep 27, 2010 |
Hello Nairalanders I need your genuine / Factual advice on Travelling to Nigeria with a Right of Abode ( ROA ) on my old Nigeria passport. I recently got the Nigeria E passport plus i have UK ROA on my Nigeria old passport + British Passport but, i intend travelling to Nigeria with both Nigeria passports ( ONLY) without getting a new ROA on the new e passport which most people do and confirm OK by the Nigeria embassy in UK . However, to my surprise after checking the UK homeoffice website its appear to me that the Rules for ROA has been changed since 2006. See attached below ROA14 When can't a certificate of entitlement be issued? You cannot issue a certificate of entitlement in: * a non-British passport if the person holds a current British citizen passport * a British citizen passport. Source:http://www.ukvisas.gov.UK/en/ecg/roa#5552403 Nairalanders please advice on this issues 1 Can i travel to Nigeria with my 2 Nigeria passports OLD + NEW ( without British passport ) 2 Can i apply for ROA on my Nigeria e passport in the future ( even though i hold a British Passport ) |

Why do u need ROA when u already have a british passport Its like asking for a nigerian visa when you hold a valid nigerian passport. |

To respond to johnkent My dilemma is , i am trying to avoid travelling to Nigeria with Nigeria + British passport and if you must know i have traveled in the past with ROA , but i learnt there are new laws in place on ROA, Which i am seeking advice. |

i have the same issue and i just travel with both passports - why am i going to start travelling with 3 passports - as long as u have a naija and uk passport u can travel freely between the 2 countries. if it worries u that much get the ROA stamp in ur new passport. |

Just travel with both passports like others do. I would advise that you always have your british passport on ya whenever u enter Nigeria just incase anything should happen. The UK embassy might not be willing to help you right away if you can't show immediate proof of citizenship. I guess the british system is different but here in the states, there isn't anything like ROA for US citizens. U only get a passport or a passport card and thats about it. |

To respond to ada24 I am willing to get a ROA stamp on my new Nigeria e passport, but its no more possible according to report to get ROA on foreign passport if you have a British passport . see my original text .
