Irish Passport ... Residency Card with UK Nationality ... dilemma
Super helpful member
I have a neighbour .....
He lived/worked in the UK all his life.
He retired. He moved here to Spain in 2017. Gained Residency in 2018. Pays his income tax in Spain - exemplary behaviour.
Then .... he took advantage of his Irish ancestry, and obtained a ROI passport.
And then .... he allowed his UK passport to lapse.
So ... he thinks he'll switch his Residency Card for a TIE. But his Residency Card has REINO UNIDO on it, while his only valid passport is Irish (and he needs to produce his passport for the TIE process).
He has popped into our local gestor to ask the questions ... (a) does he need to get a new UK passport and (b) is his current situation legal ? The gestor is trying to find out.
Anyone else come across this ?
