SEE HERE FOR MY FOI REQUEST RE: RENUNCIATION: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/ ... ing-572264louise. wrote: However it got me thinking. What are your views? and to the people already renounced, is it something you regretted? are you concerned about the future prospects of a possibility of Uk leaving the EU and do you feel it would affect you? NO REGRETS; NOTHING HAS CHANGED IN MY LIFE; I GET WORKING TAX CREDITS/I HAVE NOT CHANGED MY SAVINGS ACCOUNTS/I HAVE THE RIGHT TO WORK/I GET THE SAME HEALTHCARE AS BEFORE/MY KIDS WOULD BE ENTITLED TO EDUCATION ETC HERE (NOT THAT I WILL BE HAVING ANY) AND MY NATIONAL INSURANCE CONTRIBUTIONS STILL STAND AS IS. I DO NOT VIEW THE RENUNCIATION AS ANYTHING IMPORTANT; IT HAS ENABLED ME TO BE WITH MY PARTNER WITHOUT DANCING AROUND EUROPE TO DO SURINDER SINGH OR MOVING TO IRELAND TO WORK (THIS WOULD HAVE REQUIRED GETTING A PPSN/OPENING BANK ACCOUNTS ETC).
EVEN IF THE UK LEAVES THE EU, IRISH CITIZENS (DUE TO THE COMMON TRAVEL AREA) HAVE THE RIGHT TO LIVE AND WORK IN THE UK. IMAGINE WHAT IT WOULD BE LIKE IF THE UK GOVERNMENT SAID THAT ALL IRISH PEOPLE HAD TO LEAVE THE UK? CONSIDER THE SITUATION IN NORTHERN IRELAND WITH ALL THE TROUBLE THAT WOULD COME!
Me personally, i would not hesitate a move to Ireland , i would have already moved there if it wasnt for kids exams. I have always considered myself Irish than British even before i became a citizen. OF COURSE, A MOVE TO IRELAND WOULD BE A POSSIBILITY, EVEN THOUGH IT IS UNLIKELY TO BE NECESSARY.
I look forward to all your views and opinions and to even be educated by yourselves.

nope. no difference at all.louise. wrote:ok thank you , i work part time so i dont pay enough to be taxed, does that make a difference?
Directive/2004/38/EC wrote:I am curious. Prior to renouncing British citizenship, have you in the past primarily made use of your British citizenship or your Irish citizenship? When you needed to use a passport for identifying yourself when travelling and applying for a job, which would you use?
Not sure that I agree with this interpretation. Hasn't it always been the case that you are not considered as 'exercising treaty rights' in a country of which you are a citizen?Directive/2004/38/EC wrote:For what it is worth, I think the British government has probably incorrectly incorporated McCarthy into their free movement law. See https://eumovement.wordpress.com/2012/0 ... y-british/ for more details.
Think it was 185 (-ish) when I renounced; then it went down...now it's up again! Wow.louise. wrote:The cost of renunciation has gone up from 144 pounds to 223 pounds! seems unbelievable.
mine was black and white but i doubt very much that will be a problemlouise. wrote:yeah I was shocked, I was just on the gov website and looking at the payment form and noticed the new price from beginning of april 2015. This probably a stupid question but i have a non colour printer so my form in b/w but on the down load page its in blue and white, should i be worried? and be re printing?
Hi there, my citizenship was by birth so I didn't provide anything else.louise. wrote:chaoclive, Im posting my form off today for renouncing, and i was on the gov website and this below has confused me
"If you got your citizenship or status through descent from your parent or grandparent, you’ll need to send documents proving:
their citizenship or status
your relationship to them"
Along side my application, fee im just sending my two passports,its seems the above is irrelevant to me as my irish passport shows my nationality. Is what im sending correct? the home office page is at times not clear to me.
I think it would have been if you hadn't got your passport but there's no question with yours!louise. wrote:Hi hope you had a good day and yes i did provide a self addressed envelope too. I did find it odd why i would need to provide my descent to them after all i had to do so already to get the passport. Im sending two original passports, self addressed envelope and application and payment form. Here we go another waiting game .
When my husband goes to get his PR doe he need to do any tests like english etc ? he mentioned it the other day i thought surely not he speaks english, or is there life in Britain test he has to do, or even do I?
Thanks for helping my husband and I through this .
