British passports

[sheldon1]

My wife has just received our two British Passports for our two children. We plan to apply for my wife's visa in December. My question is. What do we do now while we wait to apply for my visa? Our children are British but how do we stand regarding visas etc? We still have a few months yet before we are ready to submit our paperwork etc

Our children are British but how do we stand regarding visas etc?

If they have British passports then they do not need a visa to enter the UK.

If this is their first time to leave the Philippines then there may be a fee to pay when they leave, check with the Philippine Bureau of Immigration.

Hi Rusty what i meant sorry! Was do they require visas to stay in the Philippines? They were born in the Philippines. And now they have British Passports. I just didn't want to get caught out somewhere down the line when we are leaving for UK. Once my wife has her visa etc.

If they were born in the Philippines then they should not need a visa. I assume they have a Philippine birth certificate and therefore should have dual citizenship.

Our son was born in the Philippines and we applied for his British passport there, we left for the UK when he was 6 months old and we had no problems at the airport.
