Frankly, your decision to mock Irish people incessantly in your video is cringe-making and embarrassing for some English people.

    This is all very interesting and like Eileen said also very confusing at the same time. So if i understand this correctly, my mother was born in Dublin 1931. she is still alive but has not lived in Ireland since around 1950. she does not have a Irish passport or any passport now. she did have a UK passport up to about 20 years ago. I was born in the UK, but I am still classed as an Irish citizen. All I need to do is apply for a Irish passport and have my mothers and my birth certificates. If this is correct, I'll get to work on it. Bless you. :)

    • @youtoospain
      @youtoospain  Před měsícem

      Yeah. It’s actually more simple than that. Your mother was born in Ireland, that makes you an Irish citizen too so you can apply for a passport, regardless of whether she has a passport or not.
      You just need to provide her birth certificate, your birth certificate, and if her surname is different on your birth certificate to hers, then her marriage certificate.

  • @GordonHudson
    @GordonHudson Před 8 měsíci +1

    5. If you were adopted by someone who was an Irish citizen, or eligible to be an Irish citizen, before 1996 you are automatically an Irish citizen regardless of where you were born. Your citizenship starts from the date you were adopted, which means that any children you have are also eligible for citizenship. Last year over 1000 people got citizenship through this route.

    Question of clarification. If you can apply for Irish citizenship if "one or both of your parents was entitled to live on the Island of Ireland (Eire/NI) without restriction", does this mean if your parents were British citizens ,and so fit the definition of entitled to live on the Isle of Ireland without restriction; in this case NI, one can apply for Irish citizenship? This implies most of the UK can apply for Irish citizenship? Very curious.

    • @youtoospain
      @youtoospain  Před 6 měsíci +1

      It’s not only about a parent being entitled to live there, that’s just one of the necessary stipulations. It only implies it when you take that one rule out of context.

    Skatz I am in the process of applying for my Irish passport because my Dad was born in Northern Ireland. I have watched quite few of your videos but don’t know how to apply for a passport for my English wife. Does she apply as a spouse of the holder of a Irish passport once I get mine

    • @youtoospain

      She can only do that if she’s been living with you in Ireland for a few years. But only one of you needs an EU passport for you to both be able to move to Spain.

    This is a bit confusing, or I am just slow. 😕 Can you help me sort this out? My father was born in Ireland but immigrated to Canada with his family as a child. I was born and raised in Canada but now live in the USA as my husband is American. I am still a Canadian with a Canadian passport. My father did not become a Canadian citizen until he was ready for retirement age to collect his Canadian pension. He passed in 2002. So, if I understand this correctly, this makes me an automatic Irish citizen; therefore, I do not have to register on the Foreign Birth Register, I get to pass go and apply for an Irish passport?? Thanks!! Confused🤔

    • @youtoospain
      @youtoospain  Před 3 měsíci +2

      Nothing confusing there at all. The only statement you need is ‘My father was born in Ireland’. That means you can simply apply for your Irish passport. You’ll need your father’s birth certificate to prove he’s Irish, and your birth certificate with his name on it to prove lineage.

    Hello, the online application asks me to send my British passport or a copy of my driving licence signed by a notary. I haven't filled it out yet but if the online application asks for an uploaded copy of my passport, why do I need to send my physical passport to them as part of the supporting documents?
    Thanks for any help that you can give.

    • @youtoospain

      That doesn’t make sense you’re right. Personally I’d just get a notary to sort out a copy of your driving licence if I were you. I didn’t send my UK passport when I did it.

      Sadly he’s not entitled to an Irish passport, but if all he wants to do is travel around to gain life experience then I would suggest finding out which countries are in or out of the Schengen Area, and move in and out of them. Turkey, Morocco, Algeria, Serbia, Montenegro and more are outside the area. He can still spend 3 months at a time in the EU and use a Schengen calculator to make sure he doesn’t overstay. The world is his oyster if he has enough cash.

Perhaps if he had spent more time on research and less time mocking Irish people in his video he might then be able to supply the correct advice to people. Please do your own research rather than depend on him. About one third of his advice is incorrect.
