The short answer is yes

Congratulations sp84 at least that is one thing less to worry about it was a big relief to me when ours came through, now you can start making plans.

Don't worry about the future it has a way of taking care of itself.

Cheers folks! Bit of a strange feeling opening the package and reading the cover letter. Yea Bannoi, fingers crossed that my family permit application goes straight forward enough. Any advice on what to send in with it? Thanks! Hi sp84 I basically just gave them what they asked for my wife's passpo...

Hi sp84 Congratulations :D if your family permit application goes anything like mine its all straightforward and just a matter of rubber stamping it. All the best I hope everything goes well for you. I don't know why but you've made my day put me in a happy mood its great to hear good news even if i...

Hi sp84 The family permit only took a week to process submitted the documents on 18th received an email on 25th saying a decision had been made and the documents that were submitted (passport etc.) could be picked up in 2 days time. Just a note on that VFS Bangkok told me my wife had to have a TB te...

If I am right - you sent your RN from inside the UK, to the Liverpool address. Waited on it being processed (how long did yours take by the way?) - and the once you received it back, you left the UK and flew to Thailand? Hi sp84 This is correct I posted from England to Liverpool on 15th September 2...

I've just reread my last post and it appears to come across very anti-British it wasn't meant that way honest :wink: in fact I think its sad to see the once proud Royal Navy that my father his father and generations of our family served in right back to the time of Nelson and possibly beyond has bec...

Sorry I've been a wee bit preoccupied lately so time to update on what has been happening First to all those who have been worrying about the RN all I sent was my British Passport (good riddance) and a photocopy of my Irish Passport. Timeline, received my RN back 13th Feb dated 8th Feb. Made an appo...

My renunciation arrived today 13th it was dated the 8th.

I posted my application on 15/09/15 it arrived back 13/02/16 so just short of 5 months.

Hi magicmus

If its any help my Irish passport card only took 4 days applied on a Tuesday and it arrived in England on Friday.

That was about a month ago.

Shame the UK Home Office isn't as efficient but then considering who Dozy Dave put in charge of it it's hardly surprising.

Hi sp84 Feeling a bit down myself at the moment especially after reading the Draft declaration of the European Commission on issues related to the abuse of the right of free movement of persons. http://www.consilium.europa.eu/en/european-council/president/pdf/free-movement_pdf/ I am really unsure ho...

The plan for us is to move back to Belfast, Northern Ireland. That is where I am from. Long term though, who knows. Depends on work etc I would like to stay in Ireland for at least 3 years, that way my wife can get herself an Irish passport - which as long as things don't change with the Irish in t...

Further update I have now received another email from Further Citizenship Enquiries, Dated 25/01/2016 "Thank you for your email. I can confirm that your application is in the process and that decisions on applications are usually made within six months. We will endeavour to conclude your applic...

Hi All, A special thanks to sp84, tigerram & Lissa6 for the welcome. I have now received a reply (22 January 2016) to the email I sent to Further Nationality Enquiries on 13 December 2015 that's nearly 6 weeks just to reply to an email :evil: I would of expected the Home Office to at least emplo...

Hi Everybody, This is my first post as I have just registered.
