Moving to Ireland

[wish_uk]

Hello everyone!

I want to know the position of Ireland(eu) after Brexit. Can brits enjoy free movement rights as per pre brexit because of CTA.

Is it easy to move to Ireland and get citizenship as compared to other eu countries.

Can a non Eu family and extended family member accompany or join British citizen who have moved or looking to move to Ireland.

I remember before brexit, if a eu citizen have proof that he is moving to another eu country in the form of Air Ticket or tenancy or job contract, their family member can accompamy or join them (family permit).

What is the scenario now.

I am british my wife is non eu. And we want to move to other eu country in future, and we are looking to start with Ireland if it is easier.

Thanks for helping me to understand current law

You will find the information you need here. You will definitely need to show some proof of income 20k annual to sponsor your dependents for entry clearance visa and criminal records certificate for them from UK if they have lived there for atleast 5 years or more. If not they need it from their country of citizenship.

For you as a UK citizen you are free to travel and live in Ireland only without any prerequisite which is equivalent to EU freemovement. After 5 years you can apply for naturalisation same as most EU countries but with no language requirement.

You do have to show a minimum income of 20k a year before tax within 3 years without kids for non EU spouses or de facto partner.

For UK citizen you don't have to show proof of income to live in the state. Of course after 5 years if you want to naturalise to enjoy the EU freemovement you have to show evidence of residence in the state thus showing what you were doing here all these 5 years and you are not a burden.

1 kid = €27,092.00
2 kids = €32,344.00
3 kids = €37,596.00
