Entering Kenya as dual citizen with UK passport?

Entering Kenya as dual citizen with UK passport? - Crop unrecognizable person demonstrating British passport

The question isn't regarding the legality of it but rather the practical benefits. I did read on another forum that although It costs more to enter Kenya with a UK passport, if I am caught in trouble (e.g political violence, robbery), the British consulate has no power to help me if I enter with my Kenyan one.

Is this true?



Best Answer

The limits on consular assistance are because you are a dual national, so the UK cannot help if you have obligations as a Kenyan (eg military service). Robbery would be a local police matter unless your UK passport is stolen. Political violence: be as careful as if you were not a UK citizen. Don't assume the consulate has the resources to help you even if they have the right to help.
