Hi - thanks for the reply Christophe. But I've already settled the return flight question, as I'll have onward travel booked. I just want to confirm whether my spouse's Australian passport, combined with my Irish passport and a marriage certificate will be enough to allow him more than 3 months trav...
A belated further inquiry regarding this... we are now planning to fly into Ireland, drop some things off with a friend, then go off cycle touring round Europe for 4-5 months. And I just realised that my spouse's Australian passport will only let him travel as a visa-waiver in the Schengen zone for ...
My mother was born in 1952. And no, my parents weren't in the Crown Service when I was born. I see no basis for you to claim British citizenship by descent. However, I presume you're aware that you can use your Irish passport to move to the U.K. as a permanent resident and become naturalised Britis...
I was born in 1980. To a mother that was born in (southern) Ireland to British parents (they were working over there roughly from when she was born til when she was 10). She has a UK passport, and her parents are both UK citizens (from a looooong line of other UK citizens). As my mother gained her ...
<snip> Fast forward to 2003 and the new section 4C of the British Nationality Act 1981, to deal with overseas born children of British mothers. There are three requirements to register as a British citizen under the Act: - born between 8 Feb 1961 and 31 December 1982 (clearly your brother is ok her...
Thanks for the advice - he's from a visa waiver country, but it sounds like it will be a good idea to shop around for a cheap (or easily refundable) hop out of Ireland, just in case the person we deal with decides to be overly officious.
I am a dual Irish-Australian citizen, with a non-EU (Australian) spouse. We're currently living together in Canada. We are planning to fly into Ireland, dropping some things off with family/friends, then going cycle touring around Europe for 3 months or so before settling and finding work in the EU ...
You haven't said whether you plan to apply under the U.K. Immigration Rules or the EEA rules yet. You may wish to clarify this if you want meaningful advice. I'm leaning towards using the EEA rules, but haven't made a decision yet (we probably won't head towards Europe for at least a year). EEA rul...
If your mother was born in the Republic of Ireland (as opposed to Northern Ireland) then as far as I can see you are not eligible for this concession. The reason for this is that your mother is herself a British citizen "by descent", as she was born outside the United Kingdom. Wow, I had ...
Are you aware that as an Irish citizen you're entitled to sponsor under the U.K. Immigration Rules? One of the advantages is that your spouse could get British permanent resident status after 2 years rather than 5 years which is the case under the EEA rules. The waiting time for British citizenship...
Hi, hopefully I'm posting this in the right spot. I'm a dual Australian-Irish national with an Australian spouse. We're currently in Canada on working holiday visas. We're going to stay in Canada until May 2009, then were planning to head to Europe to travel and work. I was assuming it would be fair...
