Depends on the EU country involved. You can become an Italian citizen in a year by being married to an Italian citizen and having a child by them and residing in Italy for a year. Germany, I believe, requires eight years of residence.bruteforce wrote: ↑Wed Dec 06, 2017 8:20 pmIs there any chance for a British citizen to settle in an EU country to obtain citizenship?
Can you kindly elaborate what pre-EU arrangment you are talking about and how it will work. I did a quick google but could not find anything.Wanderer wrote: ↑Thu Dec 07, 2017 9:27 amYou will always have the right to live in Ireland due to pre-EU arrangements, and obtain Irish and therefore EU citizenship after five years.
Trouble is the Irish economy is going to go up the shitter, I was here during the Celtic Tiger and the following crash and I can see it all being set up to happen again, the Irish government never learns.
Well since Ireland was part of the United Kingdom for so long, when it separated in 1922 certain ties remained, namely that citizens of either countries are not considered foreign and can live and work, vote and draw pensions in each others State. So even if the EU never existed you a a British Citizen could just go to Ireland and live, work and retire there without any visa or immigration formalities.shahid2000 wrote: ↑Fri Dec 22, 2017 12:03 pmCan you kindly elaborate what pre-EU arrangment you are talking about and how it will work.

My situation is similar to OP, I hold british passport but would like to retain EU nationality post brexit.

That will continue.
Google the CTA, or Common Travel Area for more info.
So in order to retain EU FoM rights, you'd need to acquire the citizenship of another EU state, Ireland's being the easiest because no real formalities exist to stop you as a Brit moving there. Obviously you'll need to register for a PSC card, inform the Revenue Commissioners etc, and after five years in the Irish system you'd apply for citizenship like anyone else.
