im just wondering now, when i apply for my british citizenship, how can i prove if i get questioned when i left the UK? no one scanned or checked my passport on the way out but i have re-entry stamp?
Been there and they don't really check passport. Holland and France as well.
But my passport was checked many times in Germany at the buses and german trains.
