I have been in Ireland as a student for almost 5 months now, and in a week I will receive my portuguese ID (and latter passport, as soon as i get the ID). My mother is portuguese and we have been trying for years to get me the citizenship. Now that I will have it, I will be considered an EU citizen right? So what do I have to do to change my status from student (non EU) to an EU citizen in Ireland? The portuguese consulate told me i should just go to immigration, let them know (take all docs, of course) and they would change it, just like that! But i think that sound a bit too easy... Couldn't find any info on the net! Can someone help??
Thanks a lot!!!
