Child Leaving the country with a new British passport

[ZeroManning]

Hi! I am having a few concerns regarding the passport status of my child. The current scenario is as folows:

I was married to an Indonesian wife and after having a child we ended up getting a divorce. I am now re-married to an Indonesian and my child is 14 years old. He currently has a British passport, but after attempting to renew his Indonesian passport I was told that he would not be able to get a new one without my ex-wives permission. The problem here is I am no longer in contact with her for years and realistically will not be able to contact her.

My question is if Mr and my son want to travel abroad for a holiday, say to Singapore, would he be able to leave the country with his British passport? He has never entered or left the country on the British passport before, so I am unsure if he would get flagged at immigration. Would he have trouble re-entering the country? I am under a kitas with my current wife so I would be covered, but I'd be worried if my son would be placed on a 30 day visitor visa. He is Indonesian, born in Indonesia and has a birth certificate here.

Any help would be great appreciated

So his visa is in his Indo passport? And it expires? Visa is from current wife

You need to get it moved to the UK passport first

Get a good agent. It's just less headache.

Then he can leave and renenter on the UK


Suggest you also get a new UK passport soon renew it and just keep one passport for in and out Indonesia

At 18 he can't have dual nat anyway

So as long as there is a legal visa in 1 passport stick to that

Getting the new UK passport just means it's new up to date King and UK version valid for 10years and the ex won't know the number.

Probably others will have ideas too.

It's all doable and easier with an agent let then waste time at the immigration
