How many nationalities/citizenships do you have?

[Amy1998]

I’ll go first:
British
Irish
Indian OCI (PR in India)

I have one British and one European (birth and by descent).

DH has four technically - two by naturalisation, one by birth and one by descent, although he “only” has three passports.

British, Irish, New Zealand. Partner has another European one, so our children will have four nationalities apiece.

British by birth and Irish by both parents.

DH was born in Germany but isn’t entitled to citizenship, his dad was in the airforce there when he was born, he just has British citizenship.

British (by marriage)
American (by birth)

Both dc are also dual citizens.

Belgian by birth and Canadian with marriage. Could have applied for British naturalisation but didn’t want it.

British (by descent - not born in uk)
Australian (naturalisation)

Could I get an Irish passport with an Irish grandmother?

Just British, sadly!

DH has British, Irish and South African. He could also have a Dutch passport but he'd probably have to give up his other passports because of Dutch nationality rules.

My cousin, however, has a fairly unusual combo;
British (birth)
NZ (descent - mother)
Irish (descent - mother)
US (descent - father)

Also entitled to Mexican citizenship (descent - father) but never bothered to register/get a passport.

Yes. If your grandmother was born on the island of Ireland (i.e. the North or the Republic) you can claim Irish citizenship. It's a lengthy process getting all the documents in order but it's yours for the taking.

At present British (by birth), parents were naturalised British in the 8O’s (swerved the whole windrush debacle decades later). I am a resident of the Netherlands and when my residents permit expires in five years I might be forced to choose (dual British and Dutch is something that isn’t supported). Relinquishing my British nationality would be something I would prefer to avoid.

@Flatulence thank you! I'll look into it.

Hi fellow British / Irish people! Lots of us on here. Interested to know what your story is. Im Irish by birth, British by choice ☺️ Born and grew up in Ireland to two Irish parents, moved to the UK when I was 20 and it has been home for the past 24 years. It was very important to me to get my British citizenship and I'm very proud of it, but I could never have imagined how important my EU passport would become

I and DH are British, no other but DS1 has his Irish/EU citizenship & passport and both GC automatically have the same. DS2 has only British & neither he or DH are bothered about applying for the Irish/EU option though they both qualify.

British (birth)
Australian (through my dad)
Seychellois (through my mum)

I’m just British, I used to have two passports.
My husband has British, Swedish and South African citizenship. Our children have Swedish and British citizenship, we haven’t looked to see if they could also gain south african citizenship.

My kids have dual

British by birth
Irish by descent

British. Nothing else in my family tree to allow for anything else.

Only UK but we all have Hong Kong PR. Kids born there but no citizenship rights.

British citizen (born here)
May be eligible for Overseas Citizen of India so I'll be looking into that seriously in the near future

British by descent.

Parents lived overseas so I was born abroad. The country I was born in doesn't permit dual nationality and my parents knew they'd end up back in the UK, so it was never a question as to which I was.

British by birth, New Zealand as permanent resident though I don’t live there anymore but it doesn’t expire.

@PinedApple I will caveat this by saying it's second hand info from about 15 years ago...BUT...

Re. The Irish grandparent and citizenship, I have an Aussie friend who obtained Irish citizenship this way. Because he did it before he had children, he is apparently able to pass it on to his DC, which means they can enjoy the full benefits of EU travel etc, head to Europe for a year out visa-free and so on. His brother declined it on the basis he had no wish to visit Europe, but that means the brother's DC are now a generation too far to ever be able to have it. It seems a great shame.

British and Irish

British. Would love Irish or EU nationality to regain freedom of movement stolen by Brexit.
