She scanned each passport with the app, checked the spellings twice, and paid \u00a340 for the pair. Both approvals landed within the hour. Her parents never touched a keyboard. If either passport had been close to expiry, she would have checked <a href=\"https:\/\/etavisauk.org\/uk-eta-and-dual-nationality-when-you-still-need-to-apply-in-2026\/\">which passport applies<\/a> first.
