Quite often when an impressive non UK act appears on BGT they have history on another version of the show. Light Balance were on Ukraine's Got Talent last year and reached the final.
So is it fair that they can pick up their act and bring it to this country and try again on BGT?
I suppose as an entertainment show they can do what they want and let whatever acts they want appear but it does strike me as a little unfair that someone can line up at an audition with no prior experience of the franchise and go up against an act that reached the final in another version of the show.

Are they really that short on applicants and talent in this country that they're having to fill with european acts from the other shows?
It is what it is I suppose but I'm not sure I like it.

Wish they would do the same for X-Factor tbh.
not
EUROPE'S Got Talent
Then there's no point calling it BRITAIN'S got talent.
Do British acts perform in other countries?
A british guy actually won a french show, either their Got Talent or X Factor
So Cowell's job is to make the TV show as entertaining as possible and if he has to bend a few rules he can live with that.
How can a non Brit win the show and then perform in front of the Queen as a Brit?
I think you were thinking of iLuminate: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=juKcjE0tQxE
Why not make the rules that you have had to have lived in that country for at least a year, but then do a big show with all the winners from each country that is shown globally ?
It's like a 30 year old bloke winning Young Apprentice or a cat winning Crufts..
I'd like it to be restricted to British Citizens..or at least restricted to people who have been living here for 6 months +...or just change the shows title to reflect it's not about what talent Britain has.
