Bidding farewell to his hometown, Lin Yilong flew to Lin's mother with Lin's father and joined her.

It's not that Lin Yilong wants to do this, but because Lin's father doesn't have a customs clearance certificate for a direct flight to the UK, even if he has a third-country visa, it is difficult for the customs to release him. Previously, because Lin's father had been using his passport since his retirement, it took a certain amount of time to apply for a residence document to the UK. The fastest way to get to the UK is naturally to have a British passport, which is not convenient to start directly at this stage. Like Lin Yilong, Lin's father and mother also hold passports from other countries, and it is acceptable to enter and exit the British border with those passports, but they cannot be used directly, and it is necessary to transit in a third country with an endorsement.

Lin Yilong and Lin's father just got their luggage, and after meeting with Lin's mother, they put the luggage directly on the check-in counter - and Lin's father took a never-used passport from Lin's mother, checked in for the flight to Amsterdam, transferred there for the second time, and then flew to Cardiff.

In fact, it is also possible to buy a direct flight ticket with a current visa, but the cost is not low, and it is easy to be recognized: no one will fly from Yanjing to Saigon but transit in Paris, and no one will go from London to Dublin via Melbourne.

According to the law, it is natural that the mainland does not recognize dual nationality, but in specific practice, it cannot be directly stated separately that the acquisition of U nationality by L XX is illegal, because this is the jurisdiction of the laws of other countries, and what can be said is only to discuss what nationality this person "substantially" is, in accordance with the nationality law. It is very easy for some well-known figures to mislead society because their children are born in foreign countries, and they do not even know the right side. Except in exceptional circumstances, nationality is innate, and the criterion of automatic acquisition at birth is not subject to the self-choice of the inhabitants governed by the law of nationality. When it comes to choice, there is no need for the holder of dual nationality to be recognized by two target States at the same time, and the recognition of only a single nationality by the target country creates an obstacle for the parties to obtain dual nationality. As a result, the authorities prefer to treat domestic affairs in accordance with domestic law and thus assume, as far as possible, that the target person is national, in order to avoid potential foreign interference. The only way to talk about it that has a little bit to do with "personal will" is naturalization.

"Why do we have to go to Amsterdam for a stopover, isn't it good to fly directly to London here?" On the way to the waiting room, Lin Yilong's mother asked Lin Yilong.

"The timetable was too late, so I bought the plane ticket separately. Lin Yilong explained in a low voice, "There are two flights to Heathrow, but there is no way for us to have a transfer time on the actual table." On the other hand, there is no direct civil flight from London to Cardiff, so we can't go to Madrid first, it will take longer. ”

"I want to go to London first. Mother Lin suggested, "It's just right, you can buy some necessities by the way." ”

"I think it's better to go home first and then go to London. Lin Yilong emphasized the word "home", "London can be visited at any time, it is not difficult." ”

"It's stupid to go abroad to retire. Father Lin took the opportunity to complain quietly, "Even the plane can't fly directly, and it has to be transferred there." ”

"It's much better when you go back home, after all, you don't have to fill out the entry form. Lin Yilong explained. It will only be so troublesome when leaving the country for the first time, because Lin's father and mother do not have the necessary entry permit (visa) to go directly to the UK, and where to register after applying for a residence certificate in the UK in the future, the customs will not be able to control it.

"What is the entry registration form?" asked Father Lin, although he had attended the academic council and visited many countries, but that was in the 90s, when the border control of major Western countries was not so strict, and there was no need to submit an entry registration card.

"This is it. Lin Yilong was very thoughtful in preparing the completed entry registration form for Lin's father and Lin's mother.

"Is the customs so strict?" Father Lin asked.

"Of course, after all, it took decades of relaxation before the tragedy of the Twin Towers in Manhattan happened, and of course now the entry has become much stricter. Lin Yilong replied.

Entry and exit procedures are quite cumbersome for anyone, and people with passports with a high degree of freedom like Lin Yilong's family still need to go through several complicated steps, and it is difficult to do it in one step, not to mention many people who do not have residency qualifications. At the point of entry, visitors who do not speak the local language may be deported at any time. Lin Yilong didn't understand how the protagonists of the novel who casually shuttled through the airport customs did it.

Mother Lin really wanted to go to Europe to have a look, and after seeing the rows and rows of buildings in East Asia, she wanted to go there with Father Lin to have a look, and then go back and forth between her hometown and Europe every year like a migratory bird parent. The required period of stay made it impossible for the two not-so-old retirees to carry out their plans, and they had to work with the Yeon sisters, who were in immigration prison, to reach a fixed number of hours in the UK in order to obtain proof of free travel between the two places.

For the rest of the waiting time, the family of three has their own things to contact, and they make an appointment to meet at the boarding gate.

The Yeon sisters have started school, Vera has entered the clinical medical stage, and she needs to complete at least 140 hours of clinical clerkship every month, she goes to the medical student dormitory with two civilian clothes, and Nadia, who is not busy with schoolwork, commutes between Cardiff and Bracken Yard every day.

"I'm going back. Although he knew that it was very early, Lin Yilong had to wake them up at 3 o'clock in the morning when the Yeon sisters were asleep, "If possible, I hope that our whole family can have a supper together at about 11 o'clock this evening." ”

"Understood, what do you need me and Vera to do?" Nadia heard Lin Yilong accentuate the word "whole", and knew what Lin Yilong meant.

"It's a late-night snack not dinner, dinner will be eaten at Skipkhor airport, just make a little bit, the combination of barley porridge, vegetable puree and smoked lard is good. Lin Yilong said, "In addition, naturally, don't be too formal and too formal, after all, it is your home." ”

Lin Yilong's kind reminder was exchanged for a long silence from Nadia on the other side of the phone.

"Do you need me and Vera to stay out of the way?" asked Nadia in a whisper.

"No, you have to see it. Lin Yilong wanted to explain his relationship with Sister Yeang to Lin's father and mother, although he knew that he might not necessarily get support from his own parents, but he might not be opposed. After all, this aspect is Lin Yilong's "own family affair".

"I see, so do you need me and Nadia to pick up the station?"

"No, just have public transport. Lin Yilong said.
