Irish identity can be called a treasure level. Having the identity of Ireland is equivalent to having the identity of the United Kingdom, the United States, the European Union, Switzerland and other countries. What is the reason?
Irish passport = British passport
The Common Travel Area was established in 1923 and consists of the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Isle of Man, Jersey and Guernsey. Since the establishment of the agreement, there has always been a policy of reciprocity between Britain and Ireland.
Under the CTA, UK and Irish citizens enjoy the following reciprocal rights:
? The right to enter and reside within each other's territories without applying for a permit;
? No need to apply for the right to a work permit;
? The right to access educational resources;
? Access to social welfare rights and benefits;
? Access to medical services;
? Access to social housing;
? The right to vote in local and council elections.
In addition, the British government will still provide Irish citizens with the preferential policy of exempting from applying for settlement in the UK after Brexit. Irish citizens currently living in the UK do not have to apply for pre-settled status or settled status in the UK through EUSettlementScheme like other EU citizens.
Moreover, Irish citizens living in the UK are automatically deemed to have the right of permanent residence in the UK from the moment they regard the UK as their "ordinary residence".
Irish passport = EU member state passport
Article 20(1) of the EU Lisbon Treaty states:
"Everyone who holds the nationality of an EU member state is an EU citizen. EU citizenship is in addition to, not a substitute for, citizenship of one's own country."
Ireland is a member of the European Union, which means that its citizens can freely study, live and work in the 27 EU member states and enjoy the same treatment as local residents.
In addition, Irish citizens can move freely to Switzerland thanks to Switzerland's agreement with the European Union on the Free Movement of Persons (AFMP).
Swiss immigration is famous all over the world. Every year, the investment indicators of each state are relatively high, and it takes more than half a year of immigration supervision. The AMFP agreement can completely skip these links and achieve Swiss settlement to a large extent.
Irish passport = American springboard
Ireland is an E2 Allied country of the United States, and its citizens can apply for the United States E2 visa.
In addition, the US House of Representatives has now passed a bill for Irish citizens to apply for E3 visas. If passed by the Senate, Ireland will become the second country after Australia to open the E3.
The E-3 visa is comparable to the US green card, and the main applicant's spouse and children under the age of 21 can also be granted visas. Spouses can apply for work permits, and their minor children can study in the United States.
The point is that E-3 has no age limit for applicants, and it is renewed every two years, and there is no limit on the number of renewals.
To sum up: Irish identity = UK + EU 27 + Switzerland + US × fast and free settlement. The Irish passport with "four-in-one" status is worthy of the king of the global passports! Who can not love?
In addition, due to its stable and harmonious social environment, good business environment, high-quality educational resources, preferential tax policies and other advantages, Ireland has become one of the preferred countries for immigration to the world.
