My understanding is an eu passport or the spouse of an eu passport holder is an advantage if you want to gain residency as you do not have to meet the financial requirements of a non eu passport holder and I think you are also able to work, I know exactly what you are asking but I am pretty sure ...

...you are still bound by the 90/180 rule, if a eu passport holder did stay for I think 182 days they become tax residents and the non eu passport holder would need to gain a visa to stay, sign on to the foreigners register etc.

You maybe thinking of the much mentioned stay for 90 days go to Gibraltar or the U.K. for a couple of days then the clock resets back to zero so you can start again from day 1, I think you can do it on an eu passport but not UK, i have searched for the information but there is nothing in black and white that I have found.

Thanks for the reply and thats how I see it but people on other forums say a uk passport holder can travel with a eu passport holder (husband or wife) as the eu passport holder has freedom of movement across Europe and can take their spouses with them 🙏 I suppose it comes down to how border officials see it 😉

I believe that Ireland is not in Schengen area and as such the 90 day rule applies but if as EU citizen you can register for extension and my wife then qualifies under a spouse visa. I have not applied myself as I still work in UK so hopefully there are others on this forum who are better knowled...

...geable then myself.  

Ok thanks 😊
