Well i will try and respond to some of you post, and if i find it necessary will respond further when i get home. The thing with these islander is that, it is not all that glitters is gold. Firstly, the UK will not issue them with passport that confers right to Union Citizenship, unless their paren...

Gibraltarians are classed as BRITISH CITIZENS in their passports rather than British Overseas Citizens. They are British Overseas Territory Citizens. Only those born in Gibraltar (to qualifying parents) before 21th May 2002 and, importantly, they are BOTCs with an entitlement to register to become ...

Well as i said before, Isle of Man is not part of the European Union, and its citizens are not Union Citizens. The Isle of Man and the Channel Islands are not part of the United Kingdom nor the European Union, but its' peoples are British citizens and therefore are EU citizens, by definition (see T...

Someone in the Isle of Man cannot use Singh as they dont have free movement rights. It would look bad for classes of national to be stipulated in legislation. However i believe in practice, the UK will see to it, if these islander went to Ireland, that they dont benefit from Singh, and i believe th...

Re: Channel Islander or Manxman? Loophole!

The latest, early last month, as I recall. Can't check properly as lying in bed on idiot-phone. Can't sleep. "UK National" always meant a British citizen who has the right of employment and establishment in EU member states. (British citizens not from the Channel Islands or Isle of Man, with no qual...

Unfortunately, because directive 2004/38 doesn't apply to the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands, people from these territories do not have freedom of movement rights, and therefore the first step, moving to another EU country and have your family members join you there under EU law is already blo...

Channel Islander or Manxman? Loophole!

Recently the UK EEA regs were changed. All references to "United Kingdom national" have been scrubbed and replaced with "British citizen". This opens up a small loophole that, while perhaps largely irrelevant for most, may benefit the family member(s) of a small number of Channel Islanders or Manxme...

You won't be asked to leave the state, but you may have problems if you, at some point in the future, decide to apply for a certificate of naturalisation.

Can you go to the next nearest immigration office?

Total tripe. That solicitor ought to read the rules a bit more. There's nothing the Irish Nationality and Citizenship Act that states that it's necessary to switch or otherwise be resident under "Irish National Law and spend 3 years on that". Notwithstanding the provisions of section 15, the Ministe...

I believe you can apply for naturalisation now. You are the spouse of an Irish national and you have been lawfully resident in Ireland for at least three years.

There's nothing to explain. It's not like a non-EU national traveling without a visa in accordance with Directive 2004/38/EC. This is a straight cut case of a British citizen entering Ireland without a passport. This has been lawful for hundreds of years.

What for? UK nationals are entitled to enter Ireland. Jaffar will be a UK national and he'll be able to prove it.

Your entry can't be refused. Legally. Common Travel Area arrangements aside, you'll be an EU national seeking to enter the territory of another Member State in possession of documents to corroborate your identity and nationality (in lieu of a passport).

They are just trying to cover themselves for people trying to travel who are a citizen of either Ireland or the UK, but were not born there, and do not hold proof of their respective citizenship. Since you will (by way of your original certificate of naturalisation), it won't be an issue. It's nonse...

Not really, but feel free to do so. Have a read of Wikipedia's article on the Common Travel Area, as a starting point. In short, British and Irish citizens are entitled to move among the CTA without the need to carry a passport. It is expected, however, to be able to satisfy the authorities, if and ...
