Entry on an EU passport after deportation from the UK on an Israeli passport

Entry on an EU passport after deportation from the UK on an Israeli passport - Crop unrecognizable person demonstrating British passport

Over 5 years ago I was deported from the UK after working illegally with my Israeli passport. I didnt get any stamp in my passport.

Today I have an EU passport and I'm coming for a visit on New Year's Eve.
I made an application to the UK agency for a tourist visa on my Israeli passport because I don't want any problems and they answer me to withdraw my application because I can travel to the UK with my European passport.

I've already have flying tickets.
Is it safe? Can it be that they will ask questions in the entry?



Best Answer

When you enter as EU citizen you use the UK and EU passport lanes at the airports and often you can even use a self service booth.
As you did not get a mark in your old passport, and the visa agency told you not to apply, I am sure you have no reason to be handled any other than any other EU visitor.

Answer 2

Border guards are not supposed to ask any question to EU citizens and, as a matter of fact, I have never been asked anything when entering the UK. There are many reasons why your past problems are not really relevant now, one of them being that as an EU citizen, you are entitled to work in the UK so you cannot work illegally anymore.

Answer 3

Note: This answer is invalidated for the OP who may not have been deported at all but it still answers the question actually asked and may be the most helpful for others.

ECB4.3 Deportees

An applicant who has previously been deported from the UK at any time must apply in writing for a revocation of the Deportation Order and wait for the outcome of the revocation request before they can travel to the UK (if a non-visa national) or before applying for an entry clearance (if a visa national). An application for entry clearance from a person with an extant Deportation Order will be refused automatically. Entry in breach of a Deportation Order is a criminal offence under section 24 (1) (a) of the 1971 Act. Any leave acquired prior to the Deportation Order is invalid.

This also applies to any European Economic Area (EEA) national - for more guidance on these see EUN1.3.

So it seems that you won't be stopped at immigration as an EU citizen but you would be committing a criminal offence by not having the deportation order revoked first.
