It should be stated that Ireland extends citizenship eligibility to foreign-born grandchildren of native Irish for an important historical reason. Ireland suffered 140 years of economic and demographic stagnation beginning with the Famine of the 1840s. This cycle of poverty, near-absent growth, and chronic mass emigration persisted for at least 5 generations. It made sense in these circumstances to enable as many people of Irish descent to claim citizenship as possible, so that the population drain might be moderated. Recent concerns on the part of Irish snobs that new citizens aren't Irish enough are nonsense. This isn't simply "nationalistic", it's condescending and xenophobic. This attitude assumes that the xenophobe is the only person fit to judge who is truly Irish. But Irishness is not static. The national identity and culture of Ireland has undergone a transformation, and this process continues. The Catholic church has seen its cultural influence and political influence decimated. Divorce, contraception, abortion and LGBTQ rights, are now the norm. This is nothing less than a revolution. Who are the snobs to claim, implicitly or openly, that they get to define irishness, and judge who is or isn't properly Irish? Their views are irrelevant - and ridiculous.

With turkish green passport you dont need a visa for visiting turkmenistan

Fuck globalism

I did laugh a bit too hard at "Turkmen golden visa". A western passport with access to China + Russian passport + reasonable CARICOM or MERCOSUR passport ought to clinch it, but as you alluded to, some countries/territories always insist on a visa or e-visa, even if it's not too difficult to obtain in some cases.

My friend got to visit Turkmenistan without a visa. He was flying from London to Mumbai and they had to divert to ashqabat and were allowed to roam the city without surveillance.

The British passport nowadays is very useful when you lack 🧻 ... if you're a british subject willing to leave the sinking ship known as the Britain you can't anymore because some liars convinced a minority of your fellow subjects.. technically now, Portugal can refuse you entry even just for travel... and don't forget that now you'll have the etias to fill

All these plastic paddy’s claiming Irish passports by decent can do one, I’d rather give them to people that actually deserve them than Brits and Yanks.

@kisinformation a lot of countries don’t allow citizenship to be claimed via grandparents, including your own I may add, and you haven’t exactly made a video calling the British government nationalistic yet ? So what’s the problem if the Irish government one day turned round and said no, we require that these people be in the country for a certain period before being allowed to be become a citizen, none !

You contradict the arguement you are trying to make mate, the person born in China who speaks Chinese and grew up in that culture, is not the same thing as someone who grew up and was born into another culture, yet somehow are able to claim passports on the basis of being one quarter Irish, even if that person has never visited Ireland before in their entire lives, no Irish person I know of has ever questioned the right to Irish citizenship for people who have lived in Ireland for a long time and contributed to Ireland and it’s society, or those who where born in Ireland and grew up here, not even once 🙄 As I said previously the UK wouldn’t allow people born in other countries to become British Citizens on the sole basis of having a UK born grandparent, so calling out Irish people for being nationalistic on the same basis is utter hypocrisy and double standard at its finest ! Wanting people to actually live in Ireland for a certain period of time before being granted citizenship regardless of who their grandmother is, is a far cry from being nationalistic !

I love your videos

I became an Irish citizen years ago through Foreign Birth Registration, using the documentation of an Irish-born grandparent. I applied simply because I could, out of my enthusiasm for my Irish ancestry. I had no thought of moving to Ireland, though the right of freedom of movement across the EU was tantalizing. I'm a happy Canadian citizen and resident. But I am very interested in retiring in Europe. Once I establish residency, I will qualify easily for EU health coverage. Out of curiosity, I also looked into getting British citizenship, which I think I might have a right to based on my connection through another grandparent and British citizenship rules at the time of my birth. Then Brexit happened. The idiocy of the referendum result was so obvious - for a trade-dependent industrialized nation to walk away from tariff-free access to the world's biggest and most successful free-trade bloc, in peacetime, for mostly emotional, reactionary reasons, with no alternate trade arrangements in place. Mind-boggling. What country, ever in history, has willingly done such a stupid thing? If you have an Irish passport, there is no point to holding a UK passport. Being Irish gives you every right Britons enjoy, plus full freedom of movement in the EU and access to everything the EU has to offer its 500 million citizens.

Yes, as long as you follow the laws and stipulations of both.

Just because it's hard to get them doesn't mean they're bad.

Not upto white privileged Brits and Americans to decide what other countries should allow, if some countries don’t allow dual nationality, then respect it and move on !

I noticed this huge contrast in mindset when I traveled to Europe. Like I just felt it when talking to locals like I wasn’t even aware I was particularly optimistic until I traveled and now I understand where this stereotype comes from

I believe if you naturalize by Irish Descent / Associations at the minister’s discretion, this does not apply. Though a few people are granted this. If you naturalize through marriage or normal means, it does. Ofc it does not apply for Birthright or FBR.

Hungary safer then Austria is just wrong

Thank you for giving Austria language❤️ subbed :)

I love your videos! They're beautiful. I have suggestions for future videos to make them even better. Do you want to hear them?

This video makes you look ignorant bud and I think you should delete no pun intended, you are suggesting that ALL Brits should move to Ireland when clearly that would wipe out the native population, that’s of course what the British did to the native Americans and aboriginal australians, and what Isreal are now doing to Palestine. Neocolonialism and the formation of banana republics was wrong then, and it’s wrong now, PERIOD !

Hello, thank you very much for the tip, what if someone moves to England, since Ireland and the United Kingdom have an agreement that their citizens can live in the country without many requirements, does it change the scenario?

The Irish passport certainly is strong but is very overrated. A UK/German dual citizenship is more powerful than what a single Irish or UK/Irish dual citizen is, as Germans can stay in the UAE for upto 90 days, whereas irish and UK citizens are limited to 30 days.

I'm going to use this loophole. I am as of now only a US citizen. Im going to claim Nicaraguan citizenship by descent and do my two year residency in Spain and get triple citizenship and keeping my US citizenship.

Can you please make a video advising on the British Nationality (Irish citizens) act 2024. I am an Irish national living in the UK, I qualify and want to apply for a UK citizenship, but would rather not do the life in the UK test, and this Act holds promsises to waiver and the test for Irish nationals. However, it is not yet in force. Could you please recommend if it is worth waiting for it to come into force? (Potentially at lower costs too).

Some people don’t have the right ancestry to obtain second nationalities and some don’t want to move countries or are eligible to do so, you are making it out that dual nationality is an easy option for everyone when it’s not. Most people in the world only have access to one passport, and that’s usually the country they are born in.

Please share link of Syrell and Moore's video that you referred in your video...

Why bother being a british subject when you can be an Irish citizen?

The British passport was made worthless by the elitist corrupt liars like farage and boris... and now you'll have to pay 7€ to visit my country. Good luck.

Having a EU passport , does it allow you to live in 27 countries ???

You should also consider consular support in different countries. The UK has an embassy in almost every country and as a British citizen and passport holder it's relatively easy to access consular support wherever you are. Ireland has very few embassies in comparison and it may be more difficult to access consular support in some parts of the world.

Jedine Turecko je perspektíva nemci aj Rusi sa sťahujú

To some extent it often doesn't matter. Unless you are a big international globetrotter, for most it doesn't matter. I have a UK passport and an EU passport and as most of my travels are to the EU and my UK passport can get me an ESTA for the USA, I don't really need a lot more than that, logically speaking. Most people with a UK passport and an EU passport have got most bases covered between them anyway

Hi, Can one apply for Irish citizen if you have been living in England with your Irish spouse?

You've got the right attitude! Don't let them tear you down❤💪🇺🇸. Confidence is key!

Guernsey is not a Overseas territory it is a crown dependency

bro my nana is irish but her son my dad is not on my birthday cert and i am not on his! so what do i need just to get a copy of my nans birth certificate? and do i need to get her doctor to sign it or sign some type of form ? its all confusing but i need to renew my british passport but i would rather just get my irish one sorted please advise cheers

It really depends on ones need, many far east asians in the UK have no interests learning any other European language beside english nor want to live in the EU zone. UK and Ireland are the only two countries that they wanna live in therefore having british passport is enough with visa free to EU zone and living in Ireland with CTA.

The leader of the ENGLISH defence league has a Irish passport WTF

If it's so great, why do so many Irish leave?

Love British people! Welcome to Ireland! ❤❤❤

Read all the comments. Lots of countries got the same idea for naturalised citizens, 10 yrs for Singapore, 5 yrs for Malaysia, 7 yrs for Malta. Literally every old world country got the same rule and grant minister the power to revoke the certificate of naturalisation if one is involved in terrorism which is very normal. What sets new world county at least english speaking countries like Canada USA New Zealand and Australia apart is that they allow naturalised citizens live overseas permanently without filling form to retain the citizenship and declare they only live abroad temporarily per year. The intention is those who come outside of out society should contribute for example pay the tax and work for rest of their life, we give our own citizens the right of keeping citizenship forever doesnt matter where they live bc theyre one of us. - Ireland is for irish. New world counties are founded by immigrants therefore such rule doesnt exist but strip citizenship to prevent from terrorist attacking is just part of national security concern. Lots of Asians i know would rather take british than irish even after brexit. People leave for a reason, if a country is so great with loads of opportunities then why people leave lol.

Anyone asked the Irish? They fought bitter struggles to get rid of Brits!

Why would l want to have access to the EU They've took enough of my money as it it

The Irish like moving to other countries but they hate other countries moving to Ireland

Ireland is full

Ireland does NOT want more migrants. We have been swamped already by economic migrants. Not welcome anymore. We need to deport 100,000s of fake applicants.

UK citizens must stay where they are and form the British Republican Army. The goal is to create a democratic and socialist British Federation. Assistance from veteran Irish republicans is welcome.

yes it's called a ''hrc''. habitual residency. our weather is the least of our problems. our problem is that our EU puppeticians are watching what's happening in the UK and IGNORING IT AND LETTING IN MORE AND MORE AND MORE UNDOCUMENTED ILLEGAL MUSLIMS. We'll be in the same mess as britain soon.

From uk here, we'll give y'all 50,000 muslim refugees from afghanistan and somalia if you need em....we know how much you love visitors😂

Its not an investment program. Its called citizenship by repatriation or ancestry. Do more research on it.
