Morning

On 00:01 Friday 1st Jan do I need a passport to be on this channel? 🙂

@jasonbell You only need one when you want to leave this channel

I believe you need a passport if you want to cross the channel

I wasn’t asked for a passport when I joined this channel.

But I was asked for a passport last time I visited the GB.

:flag-no:

@jasonbell I'm pretty sure you can claim Irish citizenship as you've been living as a married person on the island of Ireland long enough

I think you only need to be resident for 5 years

I'm not sure where the "you are automagically British and Irish" at the same time kicks in and stops.

3 years if you're married

Having dual nationality is a very good thing

And is about to be scrapped if I what I saw today is correct.

?

“Those born in Northern Ireland have a birthright to Irish citizenship, & Irish citzens retain EU citizenship rights. British citizen no longer have those rights, & there will a change in visiting, staying and working in the EU after 1st Jan.”

That doesn't stop you from acquiring irish citizenship via your spouse

It doesn't affect how the Irish Government gives out that right

And the UK is one of the few countries that doesn't need you to give up its citizenship if you have more than 1 passport.

Marriage is not an automatic qualification. I know quite a few English ones married who’ve been declined duel.

Where did they apply, dublin?

I don’t know but easy to find out.

According to the Department of Foreign Affairs...

The spouse or civil partner of an Irish citizen may apply for Irish citizenship through naturalisation after three years of marriage/civil partnership plus three years residence on the island of Ireland.

Of course, after Brexit, not being an EU national....

However, latest on the Department of Justice website still implies that being married to an irish citizen for at least 3 years (and resident on the island of ireland for 3 years) allows you to apply for citizenship. No updates/caveats for UK people because of Brexit.

So <shrug>, can't comment on why the people you know got declined, yet the rules seem to be in place.

I’ll look on Jan 4th. 🙂

@dharrigan Not sure either.

Married to an Irish citizen and resident on the island of Ireland. I didn't qualify due to not being resident
