How Will Ireland and associated Irish passport be affected by Brexit?

Best Answer

Ireland (commonly known as The Republic of Ireland, though the official name of the state is simply Ireland) is an independent country and an EU state. This status will not change. Ireland will remain a member state of the EU; Ireland issues its own passports and will continue to do so. Irish passports are EU passports.

Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom (full name: United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland), and will leave the EU along with the rest of the UK. The constituent countries of the UK do not issue their own passports, so there is no such thing as an NI passport. UK passports will cease to be EU passports, even if they still have the words European Union written on the front cover. New UK passports will no longer have that text (and will be blue).

Will Brexit affect Irish passport holders?

The UK government's policy is that Brexit will not affect Irish nationals at all. Other EU citizens have to apply for a new \u201csettled status\u201d or risk losing their right to live and work in the UK after June 2021.

Can Irish stay in UK after Brexit?

No, Irish Citizens who come to reside in the UK are considered to be 'settled', and therefore there are no requirements to obtain a work or residence permit. They are able to move freely, as are UK Citizens, between the two nations which are parties to the CTA (i.e. the UK and the Republic of Ireland).

Does Brexit apply to Ireland?

Following Brexit, the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland becomes an external EU border. In theory, a "hard" border could return, with both fewer and supervised crossing posts, to support the necessary customs infrastructure.

What effects does Brexit have on Ireland?

The estimated direct impact of Brexit is highly asymmetric, reducing imports from the UK to Ireland substantially but without any statistically significant impact on exports. This is likely due to the gradual implementation of customs procedures by the UK, with a range of checks to be introduced in 2022.
