Migration and Visa Department of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office presents its compliments to the Austrian Embassy and has the honour to refer to the Austrian Embassy's Note No 465/4-KONS/90 requesting confirmation that holders of British National (Overseas) passports

and British Dependent Territory citizen passports can be considered

as falling under the regulations of the exchange of Notes between

the United Kingdom and Austria concerning the abolition of visas of

1968.

The Department can confirm that the holders of such passports can be

considered as falling under paragraph 6 of the said exchange of

Notes only where the passport is endorsed to the effect that the

holder is entitled to re-admission to the United Kingdom. In the

absence of such an endorsement, the Department confirms that the

holder would be accepted back by the territory issuing the document.

Migration and Visa Department of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office

avails itself of this opportunity to renew to the Austrian Embassy

the assurances of its highest consideration.
