Hi everyone,
I hope you don't mind but I'm posting for traffic here. I've just got a question about the rights of British citizens in EU countries after Brexit is finally put into place.
I read a Guardian article this morning, which explains that British citizens in EU countries will be in a worse position than EU citizens in Britain when Britain leaves the European Union.
The article is here: www.theguardian.com/politics/2017/may/11/the-brexit-trap-thats-closing-on-britons-who-live-in-europe
I would really like to move to France (sooner rather than later, if possible). My (very loose) plan is that if I do move to France, I would stay there for 5 years at least. I would then apply for dual citizenship of France and Britain. I feel that dual citizenship would give me a decent amount of rights in both the UK and France.
I understand that British citizens living in other EU countries have not applied for citizenship in their countries of residence for lots of different reasons.
However, my question is: won't living in an EU country and then applying for dual citizenship (which would keeping British citizenship and acquiring the citizenship of an EU country) be very helpful in the coming years?
