DUAL CITIZEN

G'day,

Sorry if this has already been asked, I tried finding something like this in all the threads but got no luck!

My name's Chiara, I am an Aussie from Western Australia, and I'm also a Registered Nurse who somehow landed a sweet job with the NHS in Scotland. :-)

I'm a dual citizen (Australian/Italian), I've been told by my future employer to come in on my Australian Passport as I was born in Australia (plus I'm flying from Australia to the UK).

I've seen that a lot of people have had trouble getting a bank account in order as a non UK/EU person so I guess my question is: even though I am coming in to the UK with my Aussie passport, can I use my Italian passport to open up a bank account as an EU citizen? Or is that just majorly shady and probs shouldn't?

Second question to that and a complete 180 to the first: Would it be better to travel Europe with my Aussie passport or my Italian passport?

Cheers,
Chiara
