New passport rules

PaulDesmond

Hi. I would like to know what EU sitezens would use to travel through the EU. I can't see them having to have their fingerprints taken every time. It has to be a digital sign up on your phone.

I am an EU citezen livong in the UK eith an Irish passport. What steps would I take to get this?

The change is for non-eu citizens entering or exiting the Schengen area

EU passport holders are exempt from EES registration regardless of their nationality.

Therefore you have the unconditional right to live and work in any EU country. You don't need to do anything at all as regards EES or the forthcoming ETIAS. You lucky so-and-so

So I just turn up at passport control with the pasport as normal right?

Yes.

Ireland is in the EU
Ireland is also in the Common Travel Area with the UK. No fingerprints needed, no visa, no visa waiver, no nothing.

You don't even need a passport to travel from Ireland to the UK, or vice-versa. (I took mine anyway, it felt wrong not to!)

Technically true, in terms of the national rules and regulations, but some travel providers, Ryanair in particular, insist on one anyway.

I went by ferry, which is much more laid back than air!

I'm in the process of applying for Republic of Ireland citizenship to obtain an Irish passport through the so called grandparent(s) legacy rights,

Unfortunately 'er indoors is not eligible, so it remains to be seen if that'll help us when travelling into Schengen airports.

Of course if the soon to be EES/EITAS rollout significanly speeds immigration for UK passports holders it might be a pointless exercise !!!

Now, if only UK Border Force could speed up return procedures at British airports.................

‘If ‘‘er indoors’ is your spouse, they have the right to accompany you when entering a third country, so can use the EU passport only’ aisles at passport control etc.
