My daughter has a Chinese and a British passport. I am planning to take her to the UK this Christmas. I have heard that it is possible to leave China using her Chinese passport and enter the UK with her British passport and vice versa. Meaning that I would not need to apply for a British visa to visit the UK. Do you know if this is realistic?

As China doesn't admit the dual nationality, so it is impossible to do like this.

have you worked out how to do this?

Dual passports are allowed for Chinese under 18. I am also curious if this could work.

It's not impossible to do this Emily, you just need to go through a 3rd country. Don't spread false information.

did you find a solution. I was told can go via HK, but you have to make sure the trip is less that 14 days or you end up with an overstay in HK

good luck if china immigration know your daughter is dual citizenship, china citizenship passport automatically cancel ….
