Hello Nlers,

So, my 7 year old child recently had his British passport mailed to him in Nigeria. He now has a flight to UK coming up.

My question is, will he be allowed to board as he doesn't possess a Nigerian passport? Please, note that I paid the airline for chaperone service.
I would really appreciate answers from immigration guys or frequent travellers.

Thanks all.

Technically yes, but this is Nigeria, they may give him problems for not having an entry visa on his passport, then he then has to start to explain how he is possession of a Uk passport issued in London with no entry visa and you know how Nigerians are!! it's not illegal to post a passport but we are talking about Nigerian Immigration here.

Then again they may not give him problems because he is a kid. But technically speaking they have no reason to deny him, it is not illegal to post a passport. However they may say that since he is presenting a foreign passport (without a secondary Nigerian passport) he is presenting himself to immigration as a foreigner (which by the letter of the law is correct) and therefore should have a visa on his passport.

He necessarily don't have to hold a Nigerian passport to travel out of Nigeria, as long as the passport is legit and his end destination is the country which he also hold a citizenship of. But travelling back to Nigeria obviously will require either a Nigerian visa stamped on his UK passport or you get him a Nigerian passport for that purpose.

My advise would be to get the Nigerian passport before he leaves the country because getting a Nigerian passport in London is a whole different kind of sport, especially if like me, you live outside London.

He is good to go since he is British and he has his British Passport with him.

Ideally, when travelling to UK or any other western country you don't need to show your Nigeria passport WHEN you hold a Passport proving you are a nationality of that country.

But make sure you have his Birth Certificate handy...

He only needs his Nigeria Passport or Nigerian Visa inside his British Passport when he is coming to Nigeria.

Hmmmmm I will advise you quickly get his Nigeria passport for him before he leaves otherwise getting Nigerian Passport in UK can be daunting.

The way I have just explained to you is what is applicable to my children who holds Irish Passport.

As a British citizen, he will be allowed into British Territory with or without second citizenship (Passport). By law, it is categorised as his home land. Therefore, he share the same right as any other British Citizen.

A Nigerian citizen needs a Nigerian passport to exit Nigeria.

As this is Nigeria anything goes. Have cash available for vigorous hand lubrication.

What stopped you from processing Nigeria passport for him while processing the UK passport

He is a dual citizen and supposed to have a Nigeria passport

Well, in the absence of that, be ready to get VISA for him in that UK passport anytime he is coming to Nigeria

He can still get a nigerian passport for the child right there in the UK at the Nigerian embassy.

show off.

see the question this one is asking. Instead of you to say you want to let us know your child is a British citizen.

You are asking if he can go to the UK while having a British passport? Ask yourself if that question makes sense at all. Is it not a no-brainer? Must be a slow news day for the mods to put this nonsense on the front page.

Nigeria passport is only relevant when travelling to Nigeria. From Nigeria to abroad it’s immaterial regardless of age. I’ve never used my Nigerian passport when returning to Britain but just the U.K. passport and same is true for my niece who’s 12 and has been to Nigeria a few times now
That means Nigeria passport is useless
Re: Virgin UK Passport: Can My 7-Year-Old Travel Out Of Nigeria? by JendoJendo: 6:03pm On Feb 22, 2022
Yes a Nigerian Passport is required, I have to get one for my daughter last year, I got a Canadian Passport for my daughter from the Canadian High Commission in Lagos, and was told we need the Nigerian Passport to travel out of Nigeria as the Canadian Passport does not have a Nigerian Visa. It was a virgin passport.

Why contradicting your own self, my 10 yr old flew to Canada without stress when he had not the Nigerian pali but when coming to Nigeria he takes Nigeria visa on thesame Pali.

I am not saying nija Pali is useless, infact it is okay to have dual Pali but either way in your own case don't budge, he will fly and be delivered to UK .. just be nice to the immigration officer and instant they will be your friends and ask you how is the family ?.

How did he get to Nigeria in the first place?
I am asking because he would have had a previous (British) passport stamped on arrival, if he was born abroad.
If it is the case that he was born in Nigeria and has never previously travelled out, I don't see a problem with him using his British passport.

be very alert.

The question is how did he came to Nigeria?

The British passport has no Nigerian visa.

He may have issues to leave the country.

You clearly have never travelled before or do not have dual nationality!!! You show your Nigerian passport, you WILL be asked for it especially if you do not have a Nigerian visa on your foreign passport! then you show your foreign passport as proof you have a right to enter your destination country. The only time you are not required to show your Nigerian passport is if you have a Nigerian visa on your foreign passport!!!

He needs a Nigerian passport. Talking from experience. They will ask you how did the Child enter Naija, irrespective of the situation.

Just get the child a Naija passport.

My own situation was that my Naija passport that i had applied for, b4 my travel back due date was not ready, due to non availability of booklet.

Showed them my British passport and they asked me how I take enter the country. I explained to them and they said no. Showed them receipt, lai lai.
