Returning Resident

[mrs j english]

In our case, we have no plans of settling in UK but plan to visit someday to see hubby's relatives. So it's kinda confusing where we fit in with regards to this matter. I know I still need to apply for a visa but just confused when it comes to my hubby's situation.

OK, as long as your hubby has a VALID British passport, he can travel without a visa.

A citizen of a country has always the right to come back in his country and never needs a visa for this.

But of course, he needs a valid passport to travel (he do not need the 6 months validity of course, it must be valid at least until the day he enters his country as it's valid until midnight). But he take a lot of risk as if a flight is delayed, he may be blocked in the stopover country... only solution is to run at your nearest Embassy in this case ... hoping you have one there!

No international travel can be done without a valid passport (the only exemption I know is EU travel for EU citizens where the ID card (if it exist in the citizenship country) is accepted).

You are always a citizen of your birth country unless you resign from your citizenship.

U still need to apply (ur hubbys situation is cleared up by the experts) but im pretty sure its far easier if you have lived together for 4 years or more abroad as you say to obtain a visa but the laws are changing rapidly at present so best to get clarified.
