Hi,
I have been researching this topic but to no avail and hope i can find more information. This may also become more relevant due to the number of UK citizens that have exercised their freedom of movement rights and have since become citizens of the countries they moved to.
Further to "the case of C165/16 Lounes which found that EU citizens who naturalise as British but retain dual nationality with their original EU state, can retain their free movement rights." How does this work for a UK citizen who moved to an EEA state (in my case Finland) and subsequently naturalised as a citizen of said state?
I wish to travel to the UK with my Non-EU spouse and visit our family in UK on an EEA permit but i can not find any information relating to how this would be applicable because i am a dual citizen of UK and Finland after naturalisation not birth and could only do this by moving here and therefore exercising FOM rights.
I did find this information:
EEA national” means—
(a) a national of an EEA State who is not also a British citizen; or
(b) a national of an EEA State who is also a British citizen and who prior to acquiring British citizenship exercised a right to reside as such a national, in accordance with regulation 14 or 15,
According to part (a) I am not an EEA national but surely part (b) should apply to those of us who have aquired citizenship of an EEA state after exercising freedom of movement.
Left feeling confused and also rejected by UK as I am very Happy with my life in Finland I just want to be able to visit my Home country and family with my Non-EU wife. Hope someone can shed some light on this scenario and maybe some share this predicament.
