A former colleague has an Indian passport but is a British citizen. She got bounced back from Heathrow to New York because her visa had expired whilst they were in the US, despite being told that as a British citizen it would make no difference. When she landed at New York she was told she had to get her visa done in the UK, because they couldn't do it there in less than a week. She eventually had to spend an extra 2 weeks in the US and damn nearly lost her job because of it.

These days airlines are refusing to let you fly if your passport expires in less than 6 months from the date of your flights. Consequently, I'm having to renew my passport and apply for one for Limpit, even though I still have 4 months left on our old one and I'm going to an EU country!
