#irish #luck #europeantravel Mrs Slaw sets us all straight on the The Slaw's employment status and Slaw's name, before explaining how Slaw has the luck of the Irish! www.ireland.ie
I got my Irish ☘️ passport back in 2016 before brexit referendum and I am glad I got mine . A few from now I am due my second Irish passport shortly in a few years time from now , and I have Irish family living in cork today as my mum side are Irish as only 1 side is Irish ☘️ welcome to the Irish club with us slaw now. Mr slaw comes with mrs slaw and you have your marriage certificate the 90 days won’t apply to mrs slaw as long as she is with you as I used my Irish passport in Spain 🇪🇸 and Cyprus 🇨🇾 already. Welcome to the Irish citizen club with us. My Irish passport took 8 weeks back in 2016 to arrive and my citizenship took 6 months to get in 2016 and it was not long than like it now.
Hi Slaw and Mrs Slaw, Slaw’s passport won’t be stamped when you enter the EU but Mrs Slaw’s will need to be stamped. I’ve had my Irish passport for a few years now - my parents were Dubliners who moved to England, where I was born, but because they were both born in Ireland that automatically made me an Irish Citizen and so I only needed to apply for a passport, whereas my daughter had to apply for citizenship first because, although im an Irish citizen, I wasn’t born in Ireland. Apart from motorhoming in France,we also fly to Spain a lot and I get waved through the EU gates but hubby has to queue in a seperate lane to get his passport checked and stamped, which is a bit of a pain. In Spain I’m not tied to 90 in 180 days but as long as I don’t exceed 183 days in total for the year in Spain, then I’m ok. If I’m in Spain for more than 183 days then I would be classed as a fiscal resident and would have to pay taxes there. I believe that if my husband wanted to be in France and Spain for longer than 90 days in 180 he can do this only if he is travelling with me (me being the one with the golden ticket😂) but we would have to show proof of marriage etc and it’s all relatively untested at this point and I believe our marriage cert may need to be apostilled by a solicitor first - it’s something I’m still trying to look into for when we are able to be in France and Spain for longer - sorry this is such a long winded reply but I think I may have kissed the Blarney Stone 💚☘️🇮🇪
Hi the Slaws, there is a very good pod cast/youtube from Motorhome Matt (are driving licences changing)explaining about new entries into Europe that comes into force in October. Gap decades also explained about Irish passports, as they are in the position as you, he’s Irish she’s British, and as far as I understand it you will be free to spend as long as you like in the Schengen zone, because of Simon’s Irish passport.
That’s really helpful Bridget! Thank you. We are a few years off the big R, so hopefully it will all be clear for when we want to stay over 90 days 🚍☀️
Happy Easter Mrs Slaw Slaw Billie and Jessie , Hope you are all well , Great video and interesting and funny , Great Humour , I Think you do really well vlogging and working , so Keep up the Great work , So Thanks for sharing , Take care All , 👍👍🐥🐤🐇🐇
My wife is on this trail as well as her granny was born in Cork. We have heard so many conflicting versions of how it affects me with a British passport. Will wait for your update I think.... 😊
Your in good company Slaw!!!! I've been looking at getting my Irish passport as my late mother was Irish. I had been thinking about it but was worried about how long it would take. On seeing you video I'll be starting to apply!!!! Congrats on your well deserved following and hopefully see you on the road sometime.
Watch ‘the gap decaders’, they are a married couple with the man being an Irish citizen and the wife English. They explain in several videos how she is able to travel full time with the same rights as her husband.
Ohhh I'm so happy for you, I know exactly how you must have felt. We felt the same when we were granted French nationality, not through birth but through a language exam and a culture, geography and history exam and 2 and a half years of burocracy but we got there. Congratulations 😊😊😊
In the same boat as Slaw for the Irish passport, but due to a bad health diagnosis it came to a grinding halt. All the best with you both future plans. Richie
Just remember that the dogs got Irish passports before Slaw!!😎 I have seen a number of reports on Facebook from people where one partner has an EU passport ; stories seem to vary as to the requirement for the non-EU passport holder having to had their British passport stamped. I am sure that it will all become clear very quickly.
Hi I have an Irish passport (received last Sept) and have used it on my own (through the EU channel) and with my husband. You will need your original marriage certificate and Ann's passportwill be stamped but provided you are travelling together there should be know problem exceeding 90 days.
Congratulations Slaw....wow 2 years is a long old wait! I did chuckle when Slaw said he would take his other passport as a backup😂...better to be safe than sorry👍 I'd already figured out Slaw was derived from his initial 'S' and his surname Law....but it was interesting to find out he used to be called coleslaw....does he still have that hard hat? Looking forward to your big road trip in May...I'm assuming a colour-coordinated folder will be involved??😂 take care guys ❤
Thanks Peta! We did look for the hard hat, but we’ve moved a few times in the past 30 odd years and may have off-loaded it at some point 🤷🏻♀️ Yes, the colour coordinated folder is coming along nicely 🚍☀️
Congratulations on getting your Irish passport, my wife is Irish, I’m English, when we travel in Europe I have to get my passport stamped, but my wife doesn’t, our son has both passports, he used his Irish last summer and didn’t get stamped. We haven’t tried the married couple bit yet, but will do soon hopefully.
I went the same route as Slaw when we retired and bought the Motorhome!! It’s great to have the passport!! According to EU you both have the same right to stay in the Schengen zone for more than 90 days!! Also you both can use the EU channel if travelling together. However, prepare for discussion as it’s a poorly understood process (edge case I guess)!! re: UK/IE - There is freedom to travel and live in both zones for citizens (Common travel area) you only need a photo ID to I’d to get into IE and stay as long as you like!! Oh and Irish passport is not stamped in EU!
Mines being processed, finally got round to it last month. I'm automatically an Irish citizen because both parents were born in Ireland, so slightly easier process. Oh, and my dad's from Dublin so I might be related to Slaw😊
I've always been fascinated in ancestry and history , was the Web site easy to use ?? My mum's side is Welsh and I have a rumour of French Hugeno in my dad's side
You dont need a passport to travel from England or UK to Ireland as since 1921 it's the common travel area. I and my wife have both we travel out on a british and land in europe we use the Irish that way the dont stamp your british one and your not subject to 101 questions etc. !!
My Mum was from Northern Ireland so I'm lucky and just need to apply to get my passport. I keep threatening my wife that I'll leave her at the border if she winds me up 🤣
I am married to an Irish man (am Swiss) and I automatically inherited the Irish citizenship. I even received a page confirming my citizenship but I think I had to apply for that confirmation. I then applied for a passport, many years ago, which I used to travel now and again. I however let it expire as the renewal is a bit of a pain with 4 pages to fill in. I could re-apply whenever I want.
We were looking on the website about passport renewal, for me, and we've just read the following "the acquisition of Irish citizenship by way of post nuptial declaration ceased with effect from 29.11.2005 and therefore it is not possible to apply retrospectively". Now there is a new rule, not only do you have to be married 3 years but now you have to live 3 years in Ireland. In my case I should be ok because I have this certificate. I am sorry that you are missing out 😭.
I think that acquisition no longer applies? Mrs Slaw doesn’t want to be an Irish citizen and has no legal claim to it. But, as she is married to Slaw, if she travels with him she can exercise the same treaty rights (we think!)
@@TheSlawsAdventures yeah travelling to Ireland is always possible for you one way or another so no worries, but it would have been nice to just get the passport. I was very popular showing mine off all over the place 🤣😂🤣
My tip is always carry your marriage licence and as long as you're travelling together no problem. Don't forget that it was always the case that you weren't supposed to be in any European country for more than 90 days without applying for residency. A lot of people have forgotten this because when the UK was part of EU each countries authorities, notably the French and the British authorities didn't bother controlling it so things were cool. For example in Germany things were very strictly controlled, my daughter had to go through a lot of strict procedures to stay longer than 90 days and she had a job there.
@@TheSlawsAdventures On a side note, we have still been keeping our euro travel down to 90 days as the vehicle insurance and breakdown cover etc are usually geared to 90 days. This winter we are likely to be going to live in Spain full time as we bought a small retirement place over there, thanks to the passports.
There are indeed! We’ve no idea why Slaw’s g grandparents moved to Yorkshire in the 1920s? G grandad was a British Soldier serving in Ireland when he married Irish g grandma and grandad was born in Dublin. They moved to Essex then Yorkshire?? A bit random 🤔
Hi guys...I have dual nationality Italian through my grandparents..my wife has a southern Irish passport through her grandparents...if you travel on these passports you have unlimited stay in Europe...no more 90 days, no return for 180 days, and no more long airport queues..We leave that for those other eejits. The freedom of Europe is at your calling. Enjoy
My husband has been saying for years that I need to get a Irish passport. My grandfather was born in Co.Mayo, I can find him on the 1901 and 1911 census but I have found it hard to find any birth records for him. Due to what happened in Ireland during the civil war I thought it was hard to get birth certificates for people born around that time due to records being destroyed. What site did you find Slaw's grandfather birth records. A really interesting video :- )
Hi, we would suggest contacting "The Gap Decaders" they are on RU-vid and have exactly that passport situation. They've been travelling Europe for 5 years and would gladly give you some advice.
