UK, Ireland / Dual nationality: British and Polish [68]
Hello dolnoslask,
I am another UK born citizen of parents born in what was then or is now Poland. Father joint Polish army of exile and mother deported by Russians but both arrived in UK after the war as refugees and lived here until their deaths, but never applied for UK citizenship. I am approaching retirement and wish to be able to visit and reside in any EU country. Please pm details of how to apply for Polish Citizenship. Thank you for such a useful forum.
I wish to make the point that after Brexit a UK citizen already resident in another EU country, say France, could have established right to residence and may not be effected. However, if that person decided they wanted to move to, say Spain, they would not have a right to residence or work. But if the had dual citizenship with at least one being EU, say Poland, then they would retain the right after Brexit.
