British passport holders in UAE and the Gulf warned: New UK travel rules could disrupt next trip for expats or dual nationals

They can no longer use foreign passports to enter the UK, requiring a British passport or a costly Certificate of Entitlement. This has led to confusion, delays, and urgent passport applications.
