    You are an Irish citizen, why would you not be allowed to stay in the EU as long as without Brexit?

  • @Willeke If you're an EU citizen, you can stay as long as you like. If you're a post-Brexit British citizen, you can only stay as long as you're allowed. Unless you know the answer, it's not obvious what happens if you're both of the above.

Because of your dual citizenship, you are in the position of being able to effectively ignore the border control aspects of Brexit. No matter what happens, you will still have the right to enter both the UK and the EU without restrictions.



The only thing that could change this is if Ireland chooses to leave the EU, too. This does not seem likely at this point.

    Based on the Common-Travel Area - someone on an Irish passport can enter and leave the UK independent of the EU Freedom of Movement: After a ‘no deal’ Brexit on 29 March 2019 If you are an Irish citizen you will continue to have the right to enter and remain in the UK, as now. You are not required to do anything to protect your status. Link

  • @Mehrdad yes. Irish citizens have slightly greater rights in the UK than other EU citizens. These rights existed for decades before the UK and Ireland joined (the predecessor of) the EU. British immigration law has been (or perhaps is still being) amended to preserve these rights after Brexit. See for example gov.uk/government/publications/common-travel-area-guidance.

    @Mehrdad: As I understand it, the big issue is border enforcement, which typically implies having to cross at official border crossings (and waiting at the checkpoint and so on). Even if every citizen of either country is guaranteed to be admitted at such a crossing, it nonetheless creates a lot of "friction".

Even after Brexit, you will be an EU citizen because of your Irish citizenship, so you have all the rights that an EU citizen has. When you enter the EU, you should do so using your Irish passport. There are more details in the answers to our reference question about using two passports.
