Dual citizenship

Don't think I have ever referred to myself as being an EU citizen. A European or British citizen, yes. No experience of dual nationality for Europe only friends applying for American and Canadian dual and they took several years to get to the end. .

My DH has applied for his Irish passport for him and kids...I guess I’ll be in the long queue!?

Am I being unreasonable to feel rather upset and conflicted that some of those leave-voting friends are busy applying for Irish/French/Spanish passports so that their families can benefit from EU membership?
Just another thing that wasn’t considered by leavers when we voted - I guess now they are just trying to do their best for their kids, can’t blame them for that - Now we need another referendum, but that means Corbyn so I can’t go with that, The Lib-dems stance is so undemocratic, I may go with them even though I know in my heart it’s morally wrong to ignore the last result without another vote, but otherwise it’s Boris...What a mess...

Well if they apply for French, their kids will def get the call up!

A lot of this came about because of the B word. People with Irish greatgrandparents could apparently apply for Irish passpoets but this has now been changed to grandparent or parent because they were so inundated. Unless you have parents born in other EU countries you can only get a passport of another country if you take the citizen test and apply to become a citizen. Portugal will allow you to have dual citizenship but apparently with Spain you have to chose to be one or the other but not both.

Have no idea how this will affect my DGDs. Their mother is Swedish, they have Swedish passports, they have my DS's surname, and were born in the UK and have always lived here. DS and partner (I call her my DDinlaw) have been together about 15 years. And hopefully very likely to stay together.

Yes, Portugal will allow dual citizenship. You will need to fill out tax forms every year to declare worldwide income for taxation.

I think Portugal’s threshold for tax starts at between 4-7000 euros, considerable lower than the UK. The forms are also in portuguese and you need a fiscal representative to handle your forms each year if you are not resident. Not as easy as everyone thinks, with citizenship comes taxes as they say there are only two certainties in life - death and taxes!
