Northern Irish. Renounce british citizenship. Non eu spouse

Smalldog is correct.

What is ukba's current position in cases where a dual British national seeks to use the surrinder singh route having worked in the the other country of their nationality. I.e. The op has an Irish passport already and goes to work in ROI he is therefore not exercising treaty rights in Ireland since he is an Irish national?

Actually, the OP doesn't currently have an Irish passport. Whether or not he has exercised his right to be an Irish citizen via another method is unknown but, in any case, in the example you suggested, the OP would return to the UK and complete (or, rather, the spouse would complete) the EEA2 form declaring the OP to be a UK national returning under Singh. The UKBA, to my knowledge anyway, are not currently investigating returning "Singh" UK nationals to discover whether or not they are also a citizen of the Member State from which they are returning have pursued economic activity there.

In his first post he says he has just applied for an Irish passport.

OP: how long did your renunciation take after all? Did you go through with it?

I renounced my British Citizenship to bring my non EU spouse into the UK using my Irish citizenship. It took 6 weeks for them to process and cost £250. HTH

Sorry again Mark, did they give you back your passport after the renunciation (e.g. cancelled/with a corner snipped off)?

Hello

We are in a similar situation.

Did you renounce your UK citizenship? Can you get it back?

She is the Uk citizen and I am American. She is still in school and does not meet the income requirement for UKBA.
