Scottish mum stuck abroad after baby falls foul of UK dual nationality rules

A Scottish mother, Sarah Schloegl, was stranded in Spain after her 11-month-old baby was prevented from boarding a flight home due to new UK dual nationality rules that took effect in February. Under the new regulations, British dual-nationals must present either a British passport or a certificate of entitlement of abode (costing £589) when entering the UK by flight, train, or ferry. Schloegl was unaware of the rule change and criticized the lack of adequate public notification through airport posters and airline websites before implementation.
