Expired UK Passport?

[Fr J Hackett]

Depends on the residency of the owner.

The question was more related to the people not the yacht. Interestingly I travelled to the UK by plane earlier this week from France, I had my passport scanned ( I used the French one) before I then presented my UK passport and boarding card to the carrier which I assume was them confirming my eligibility to enter the UK. My wife did the same with her French passport which contained the necessary visa.On arrival we had our passports scanned at immigration. On returning to France from Gatwick yesterday there was no customs or immigration check of our passports only the carrier confirming our right to enter France; How does the UK know we have left? On arrival in France our passports were scanned to confirm entry.

If they have reason to know, they will know quicker than you can tell them.

I really am surprised that people think they have any control over secrecy of their whereabouts.

But they don't without course to interrogating multiple places of potential departure and methods of departure

When I had my obligatory interview with regards to becoming a French citizen, a guy from the DGSE Qui sommes-nous ? | DGSE, which is basically the french equivalent of the MI6, was there as well. He asked in detail about the cities (and named them) I had visited in China the year before.
He knew where I had been in China. And that was internal travel in China on Chinese trains and planes reserved in China by a third party - i.e. not directly by me.

They know a hell of a lot more than you can imagine. And it is not as if I was some one worth following......

Already all done, all info just sitting waiting for someone to ask, takes split second.
If you are a person of interest, they know when you will fart.

I will take your word for it, I was interviewed by a plain clothes policeman in our apartment, I think he was more concerned that we were actually genuinely living together and not just a marriage of convenience as he had a bit of a poke around looking into a couple of rooms. He had a look at my passport and commented on a Russian visa in it. Then there was the obligatory interview testing knowledge and language at the prefecture by a civil service woman. You are obviously more important than me.

There was an ordinary policewoman there in uniform. She did not get any time to speak!

What! Let these people back in. These people probably are too thick to renew their passports - so the changes are to ensure that they stay in Spain.
