Hi, for background I posted this thread years ago even before the Brexit vote:
eea-route-applications/eea-pr-qualifyin ... 99447.html
Essentially I inherited Hungarian citizenship at birth through my grandfather/father. I applied for 'verification of citizenship' (complete November 2015) and was never granted citizenship or 'naturalised'. However that process was very slow so I originally entered the UK through Tier 5 on my NZ passport in 2013.
I applied for full settled status this week and the HMRC check confirmed I had five years of records. In the application I had to disclose my dual NZ citizenship. To the question 'Have you had your EEA or Swiss nationality since you were born?' I answered yes as I inherited at birth via Hungarian law.
That said, I'm wondering if the fact I have Tier 5/FLRs under my NZ passport is going to confuse the situation?
Essentially I was already Hungarian citizen when I arrived in 2013 I just hadn't got hold of a passport yet so used my NZ passport!
